　　Beef back ribs are the same bones that you see in a standing rib roast. Some supermarkets sell them separately, but you'll probably have to order them from a butcher.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 4 to 6 (first course or main course) servings

　　2 tablespoons cracked black pepper

　　1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar

　　1 tablespoon kosher salt

　　1 teaspoon paprika

　　2 racks beef back ribs (not short ribs; 5 to 6 pounds)

　　

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°F with rack in middle. Stir together pepper, brown sugar, salt, and paprika. Pat ribs dry. Rub beef all over with spice mixture.

　　

Step 2

Arrange beef in 1 layer in a large roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, until meat is tender, about 6 hours. Cut into ribs and serve immediately. Stir juice into sauce before serving.
