BBQ RIBS DRY RUB



BBQ Ribs Dry Rub image

This is a dry rub I've experimented with for a while. I put this on a couple racks of Pork ribs, marinaded overnight then cooked slow in my smoker. Wow did they turn out great! Wife and kids loved them. I put a homemade BBQ sauce on one rack and none on the other. Both were great but I think the one without sauce was better. Though this was cooked in a smoker, it could also be done in the oven or BBQ.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 -2 pork spare rib racks
1 tablespoon Season-All salt
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
3 cups apple juice

Steps:

  • Mix together dry ingredients.
  • Rub liberally all over the ribs on both sides. (For more flavor penetration, pull off membrane from the bone side of ribs).
  • Cover with plastic wrap or vacuum seal bag and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Heat smoker/cooker to at least 250°F and keep between 250-300°F.
  • Pour 2 cups of the apple juice in water pan to steam the ribs with.
  • Add soaked hardwood chips or smoking wood of your choice to the smoker.
  • Amount of smoke is up to you.
  • After about 3 hours, internal temperature of the meat should be around 170°F In order to make the meat a bit more tender, wrap the ribs in foil and spray or drizzle some remaining apple juice on the ribs, closing the foil around them until desired tenderness is achieved. Don't drown the ribs in juice but moisten them, about another hour or so.
  • If sauce is desired, mop it on the ribs the last 30 minutes or so of cooking.

DRY RUB FOR SPICY BBQ RIBS



Dry Rub for Spicy BBQ Ribs image

After trying a few different recipes for a dry rub, we came up with our own version. We like more spicy than sweet.

Provided by DeeDee

Categories     Pork

Time 1h30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon rosemary (crushed)
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 full pork back rib

Steps:

  • Wash rack of ribs, remove membrane on back, and pat dry with paper towel. You can either leave as a rack and thread onto a spit or cut into 2-3 rib sections.
  • Mix all remaining ingredients until well blended. Rub the mix over both sides of ribs until it's all used up. I sometimes double the recipe to get a really good coating. You can either put in fridge overnight or grill at 350 F right away on bbq over indirect heat. The bbq acts more like an oven this way. The sugar will burn if you grill over direct flame.
  • They will take an hour to cook through.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for BBQ ribs, but you can also use spare ribs. Baby back ribs are leaner and have a shorter cooking time, while spare ribs are meatier and have a longer cooking time.
  • Make sure the ribs are well-trimmed: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a good quality dry rub: The dry rub is what gives BBQ ribs their flavor, so it's important to use a good quality rub. You can find many different recipes for dry rubs online or in cookbooks.
  • Apply the dry rub evenly: Once you've chosen a dry rub, apply it evenly to the ribs. Make sure to get all sides of the ribs, including the bones.
  • Let the ribs rest: After you've applied the dry rub, let the ribs rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the rub to penetrate the meat and develop flavor.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: BBQ ribs should be cooked slowly and low over indirect heat. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Baste the ribs: During the cooking process, baste the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce. This will help keep the ribs moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the ribs easier to eat.

Conclusion:

BBQ ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips in this article, you can make sure that your BBQ ribs turn out perfect every time. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
