The secret to achieving the “fall off the bone” ribs is to bake them low and slow. Using just a few simple ingredients, you’ll be able to make the best ribs you’ll ever have in the OVEN! Yes, you don’t need to bring out your barbecue grill for this. Tender, juicy, spicy, and saucy – everyone will be craving for more.
It’s summer. Everyone is bringing out their barbecue grills out again. However, do you really have that much space and time to cook EVERYTHING on the barbecue grill, and have to clean it afterwards? This is exactly why I’m here to save your day, by creating a pork ribs recipe that you can easily cook in the oven during the same time you cook other food on the grill. If you REALLY wanted to cook these on the grill, you can cook them on the grill after you spread the sauce, just until the ribs are starting to char. Because this is an oven baked recipe, it means you can also have these ribs anytime of the year!
I’ve tried having pork ribs with barbecue sauce so many times, that’s why I wanted to switch things up a bit, and create a spicy sweet garlicky sauce. Ah, I just love cooking with gochujang (Korean red chili paste). It’s sweet, savoury, and such a versatile ingredient.
If you want super tender fall off the bone pork ribs, you need to be patient for this. We’re cooking this low and slow. This simple method guarantees super tender ribs. Remember to spread a GENEROUS amount of the sauce on both sides of the ribs, because, we ALL LOVE SAUCY RIBS.
Slow and steady wins the race, or in this case, it will win everyone’s hearts.

Korean Style Fall Off The Bone Ribs
Ingredients
- 1 rack of pork rib racks (about 3 lbs)
- Sea salt
Sauce
- ¼ cup gochujang
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup honey
- A few cracks of black pepper
- 5 garlic cloves (minced)
Instructions
- Let’s first prepare the ribs. Using a small pairing knife, remove the membrane from the underside of the rib racks, stretching it until it tears. Discard the membrane. Then, season both sides of the ribs with a generous amount of salt.
- Preheat the oven to 275°F.
- Place the ribs in a baking dish/large roasting pan (meat-side up) and cover tightly with foil. We’re going to bake this nice and slow in order to achieve the “fall off the bone” effect. Bake in the oven for 2½-3 hours covered, until the meat is cooked through and tender.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining all the ingredients together in a bowl.
- Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the foil, the juices, and increase the temperature to 390°F.
- Generously brush both sides of the ribs with the sauce. Bake in the oven uncovered for 5-10 minutes (keep a close eye so the sauce doesn’t burn).
- Remove from the oven, serve, and enjoy!
