There weren't hot enough for me, but I deliberately reduced the cayenne for my friend's tastebuds. They were sensational, much better than the wet BBQ sauce style!

Texas-Style BBQ Ribs
Traditional Texas favorite!
 
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 2½ hours
Servings: Serves 6-8 

2 racks of beef back ribs (7 ribs per rack)(I used pork)
2 Tbsp. black pepper
1 Tbsp. ground oregano
1 Tbsp. paprika
2 tsp. celery salt
1/2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
 
- Combine all spices. Rub over surface of ribs to coat well.
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Place ribs on a rack in a roasting pan. Add 1/2-inch of water to bottom of pan. Cover pan with foil and tightly seal edges.
- Bake at 300°F for 2 hours.
- Remove ribs from pan and place on grill over medium coals for 15 minutes (I used the oven broiler). Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce, if desired.
- Cut between ribs to serve.
