Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, dry Italian salad dressing mix, ketchup, white vinegar, water, celery salt, and ground ginger. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
-
Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels. Place the ribs in a single layer in a Dutch oven or large baking dish.
-
Pour half of the sauce mixture over the ribs, turning them to coat evenly.
-
Cover the Dutch oven or baking dish tightly with foil or a lid.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
-
Remove from the oven, baste the ribs with the remaining sauce, and return to the oven uncovered.
-
Continue baking for 1 more hour, basting every 30 minutes with any remaining sauce in the bottom of the pan.
-
Remove from the oven when the meat is tender and the sauce is thick and glossy.
-
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Note
Storage: Refrigerate leftover ribs in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
Substitutions: You can use beef ribs instead of pork, but you may need to increase the cooking time by 30-45 minutes.
Tips: For extra tender ribs, you can wrap them in foil for the first 1.5 hours and then uncover for the last 30 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Safety: Ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches at least 145ðF (63ðC) for safety, though for ribs, cooking longer for tenderness is standard practice.
