The first step to slow-cooking beef ribs in the oven is to Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus temperature is low and slow, which allows the meat to cook evenly and become tender without drying out.
While the oven is preheating, prepare the beef for cooking. Take the beef ribs from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will allow the meat to cook more evenly and ensure it doesn’t shock the oven when placed inside.
The next step in slow-cooking your beef ribs at 200 degrees is to place them in a roasting pan or a baking dish.
Once the beef ribs are in the pan, cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. This helps trap moisture and create a steamy and stable temperature for the beef ribs.
Place the covered pan in the preheated oven and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
After the beef ribs have cooked for 3-4 hours, remove the pan from the oven and carefully remove the aluminum foil. Be careful, as the steam inside the pan will be very hot.
After adding barbecue sauce to the cooked beef ribs, increase the oven’s temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 10-15 minutes, or at least until the sauce has caramelized and the beef ribs are slightly crispy on the outside.
Once the sauce has caramelized with the ribs, remove the pan from the oven and let the beef ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
