Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F. Pat dry 2 lbs pork back ribs and season evenly with 2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper on all sides.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear ribs for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and edges crisp.
  3. Step 3: Mix 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl, then pour over ribs. Cover skillet with foil and transfer to oven.
  4. Step 4: Roast ribs in the oven for 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with pan juices, until meat is tender and pulls from the bone easily.
  5. Step 5: Remove foil and broil ribs on high for 3-5 minutes to caramelize glaze, watching carefully to avoid burning. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing to serve.
