Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Pork Rib Recipes     Baby Back Ribs

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
3 pounds baby back pork ribs
1 cup barbeque sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas grill for high heat, or arrange charcoal briquettes on one side of the barbeque. Lightly oil the grate.
  • In a small jar, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Close the lid, and shake to mix.
  • Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, and snip off the membrane as much as possible. Sprinkle as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark and spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs. Store the unused portion of the spice mix for future use.
  • Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups. Lay the ribs on the top rack of the grill (away from the coals, if you're using briquettes). Reduce gas heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift the lid at all.
  • Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, and grill an additional 5 minutes. Serve ribs as whole rack, or cut between each rib bone and pile individually on a platter.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork back ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and will make them more tender.
  • Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs. There are many different rub recipes available, so feel free to experiment until you find one that you like.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook pork back ribs is to cook them low and slow. This will help to render the fat and make the ribs fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with a mixture of apple juice, vinegar, and brown sugar will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs.

Conclusion:

Pork back ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make fall-off-the-bone tender ribs that will be the hit of your next party or cookout.
