For barbecue sauce:
  • 1 teaspoon cajun or creole seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sweet or hot paprika
  • 2 1/2 pound meaty baby back pork ribs (about 2 large racks)
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoon medium onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon small celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 2 cup beef broth
  • 2 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup white distilled vinegar
  • 3/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoon steak sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Mix the Cajun seasoning, oregano, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl to blend and rub the mixture all over the ribs.

Wrap the ribs in heavy-duty foil, encasing them completely, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the wrapped ribs on a heavy baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, or until the meat is very tender.

Unwrap the ribs and let them cool.

Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: Melt the butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat.

Add the onions and celery, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Mix in the beef broth and all the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat.

Then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 1 hour, or until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.

Coat the ribs with half of the sauce and marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature or for up to 1 day in the refrigerator.

Reserve the remaining barbecue sauce.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the ribs on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and roast uncovered, basting often with some of the remaining barbecue sauce for about 25 minutes, or until the ribs are heated through.

Rewarm the remaining sauce and serve it alongside the ribs.
