Curry powder is the secret ingredient in my special barbecue rub. It, along with a handful of other dried spices that I always keep in my pantry, gives such intense flavor to these meaty ribs that you don't even need sauce. They are fall-off-the-bone tender.

1 cup apple juice
Barbecue sauce, optional

¼ cup dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons paprika

BARBECUE ST. LOUIS PORK RIBS

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 slabs St. Louis style ribs, 2 to 3 pounds each
4 tablespoons kosher salt
1/3 cup spicy brown mustard

Steps:

  • Set a smoker to 225 degrees F.
  • Combine the paprika, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg and cayenne in a spice grinder. Process until a fine powder is formed, approximately 30 seconds.
  • Pat the ribs dry and turn bone-side up. Trim excess fat and, if one end of the ribs is especially narrow, trim meat and bone to ensure even cooking. Remove the membrane on the underside of the ribs by inserting a rounded utensil, an upside-down spoon works well, between the membrane and the meat at one end of the slab. Carefully work the spoon under the membrane to loosen but not tear. Once enough has been loosened, use a paper towel to hold onto the membrane as you slowly pull it down the slab to remove.
  • Sprinkle the ribs on both sides with the salt and brush both sides with the mustard. Sprinkle two-thirds of the spice mixture on the meat side of the ribs and the remaining third on the bone side.
  • Once the smoker has reached 225 degrees F, add the wood chips or chunks and the ribs to the smoker.
  • Smoke for 4 to 5 hours then test for doneness. There are four criteria that should be met in order for ribs to be done. First, the internal temperature of the meat should be 185 to 190 degrees F. Second, pick up each slab from the center with tongs and it should droop into a u-shape and crack slightly. Third, while holding with the tongs, and bouncing gently, the surface of the ribs should crack slightly. Lastly, the meat should pull easily off the bone but not fall off. If ribs pass all tests, remove them from the smoker and wrap in heavy-duty foil and rest for 15 minutes. If not, continue smoking for 45 minutes to 1 hour and test again until done.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Select St. Louis-style pork ribs, which are meaty and have a good amount of fat.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat.
  • Season the ribs: Apply a dry rub to the ribs, made from a combination of spices, herbs, and brown sugar. Be sure to coat the ribs evenly.
  • Smoke the ribs: Smoke the ribs over indirect heat for several hours, until they are tender and fall off the bone. Maintain a smoker temperature of around 225°F (107°C) for best results.
  • Glaze the ribs: Brush the ribs with a glaze made from a combination of honey, brown sugar, and spices during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will give the ribs a sticky, caramelized exterior.
  • Let the ribs rest: Before serving, let the ribs rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Barbecue St. Louis pork ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are a seasoned pitmaster or a beginner, these tips will help you create fall-off-the-bone ribs that will impress your friends and family.
