# Ingredients Required:

→ Meat

01 - 1 rack bison ribs

→ Seasonings

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons kosher salt
04 - 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
05 - 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
06 - 1 tablespoon garlic powder
07 - 1 tablespoon onion powder
08 - 1 tablespoon liquid smoke

→ Liquids

09 - 120 milliliters beef or bison stock

→ Optional

10 - Barbecue sauce for glazing

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Set the oven to 135°C (275°F) to prepare for slow cooking.
02 - Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs using a knife and a paper towel to improve seasoning absorption.
03 - Mix kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and liquid smoke in a bowl. Coat ribs with olive oil, then rub the seasoning blend evenly over all surfaces.
04 - Place ribs in a roasting pan or on a foil-lined baking tray. Pour beef or bison stock into the bottom of the pan, avoiding contact with the ribs to maintain moisture during cooking.
05 - Cover the ribs tightly with foil and bake for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is tender and pulls easily from the bone.
06 - For glazed ribs, remove the foil in the final 30 minutes, brush with barbecue sauce, and increase oven temperature to 175°C (350°F) to caramelize the glaze.
07 - Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes after removal to retain juices and enhance flavor.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Removing the membrane ensures better seasoning penetration and tenderness.
