Flip the ribs and sear the other side until crispy.

Remove the seared ribs from the griddle and continue with the remaining slabs until all are done.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the seared ribs in a baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

After 40 minutes, check the ribs and prepare the barbecue sauce by mixing it with 1/4 spoon of brown sugar.

Pour the barbecue sauce over the ribs and return them to the oven for another 30 minutes.
