Ingredients
- 1 rack pork spare ribs about 3-4 lbs
- 1 ½ tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 C orange soda
- ¾ C prepared BBQ sauce
- ¾ C brown sugar
- ½ C orange juice concentrate
- 2 tablespoon hot sauce or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°
- Trim ribs and cut into sections of 3 or 4 bones each. Season front and back with salt and Montreal Steak seasoning and place in a baking dish in a single layer. Pour just enough orange soda over the ribs to cover them half-way.
- Cover dish tightly with foil and bake for about 2 hours or until the meat is tender but not quite falling off the bone.
- Remove ribs from baking juices and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Prepare sauce by combining BBQ sauce, brown sugar, orange juice concentrate (not orange juice), and hot sauce in a small sauce pan and heat on the stove until sugar is dissolved.
- Brush sauce over cooked ribs and place under the broiler for about 4 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with more sauce. Return to the oven and continue to cook until the sauce is bubbly and slightly charred.
