For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a touch of smoked paprika to the spice rub. If you prefer a sweeter flavor profile, a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup during the last 30 minutes of cooking can add a delightful caramelized glaze. Monitor the ribs closely during the final hour of cooking to prevent them from drying out. If necessary, add a small amount of water or broth to the baking sheet to create steam.

01 Step
Recipe View In a small bowl, meticulously blend the kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside this aromatic spice rub. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Whisk together the white vinegar and Dijon mustard in a separate small bowl until emulsified. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Place the St. Louis-style pork spare ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, meat-side down. Using a small, sharp knife, make shallow, yet deliberate slashes through the membrane covering the ribs, spacing them a few inches apart. Then, gently poke the knife 3 or 4 times between each rib bone, approximately 1/4 inch deep. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Brush approximately half of the Dijon mustard mixture evenly over the ribs. Generously sprinkle about 40% of the prepared spice rub over the mustard. Turn the rack over and brush the remaining mustard and vinegar mixture on the other side. Finish by sprinkling the remaining spice rub, reserving 1 or 2 teaspoons for potential seasoning after cooking. (Prep time: 8 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Refrigerate the ribs, uncovered, for a minimum of 4 hours, but preferably overnight (8-12 hours), to allow the flavors to meld and penetrate the meat. (Marination time: 4-12 hours)
06 Step
Recipe View Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Once the oven is preheated, remove the ribs from the refrigerator. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Place the ribs in the center of the preheated oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours. After the initial cooking time, remove the ribs from the oven and baste them generously with the pan drippings. Return them to the oven and continue to cook until they are exquisitely tender, and the tip of a knife slides in effortlessly, approximately 1 1/2 hours more. (Cook time: 3 hours)
08 Step
Recipe View Remove the ribs from the oven for a final basting with the savory pan drippings. Allow the ribs to rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving. This resting period ensures maximum juiciness. (Rest time: 15 minutes)
