Step 1
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Line a sheet pan with foil. Arrange ribs meat-side up, tightly curled if needed to fit.
Step 3
Stir brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
Step 4
Brush sauce thickly over both sides of ribs. Broil 6 inches from heat for 12–14 minutes, turning and basting halfway through.
Step 5
Ribs should be caramelized, edges blackened slightly, and meat pulling back from the bones.
Step 6
Transfer to a cutting board. Mop with remaining sauce and let rest 2 minutes. Serve hot.
