Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Remove the silverskin membrane from the back of the ribs before applying the mayo-seasoning paste—this allows the rub to penetrate and helps achieve tenderness.
Mix the mayonnaise and Montreal steak seasoning into a paste before applying; this creates an even coat that locks in moisture during baking.
Brush the BBQ sauce on during the last 10–15 minutes of baking to prevent burning and develop a caramelized glaze.
For extra tenderness, wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in foil for the first 40 minutes, then unwrap to finish and glaze.

Substitutions

BBQ sauce → hot sauce or teriyaki (adjusts flavor profile)
Montreal steak seasoning → garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper blend (DIY seasoning mix)
Mayonnaise → sour cream or Greek yogurt (tangier paste, same binding effect)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 325°F oven for 15–20 minutes until warmed through.

Common Questions

How long does it take to bake ribs at 350°F?

Most pork loin back ribs bake tender in 45–60 minutes at 350°F, depending on thickness. Check doneness by piercing the thickest part with a fork; meat should shred easily.
