DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Combine all the spices for the rub in a bowl, then rub this mixture all over the ribs, ensuring every bit is covered.

2. Wrap each rack of ribs in two layers of foil and place them on a baking sheet.
   Bake for approximately 2.5-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones easily.

3. Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove the foil and apply a generous layer of BBQ sauce all over the ribs.

4. Turn your broiler to high and place the ribs back in the oven. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and starting to caramelize. Be sure to keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

5. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before cutting and serving.

6. Dig into these delicious St. Louis ribs and enjoy the perfect blend of BBQ and winter spices.
