MEMPHIS DRY-RUB RIBS



Memphis Dry-Rub Ribs image

This Juneteenth showstopper, using a dry rub from Greg Collier, the chef and co-owner of Leah & Louise in Charlotte, N.C., is an ode to the flavors of the Mississippi Delta. The smoky, sweet, salty pork ribs slow roast in the oven, yielding tender meat seasoned with a traditional barbecue dry rub. You can substitute the pork for slab beef spareribs with equally good results, or use mushrooms for a vegetarian approach. Crushed peanuts and sweet-potato pikliz make the ribs a meal.

Time 3h

Yield 3 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 (packed) cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup hot paprika
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seed
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
4 pounds bone-in country pork rib rack
Crushed unsalted peanuts, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the rub: In a large bowl, combine all rub ingredients and mix well.
  • Prepare the ribs: Rinse the pork ribs then pat dry and place on a medium sheet pan, fat side up. Coat the ribs all over with the dry rub. Place in the fridge uncovered for at least 7 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Transfer ribs to rack and cook, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours. Cover with foil and cook for an additional 1 hour. The ribs will be done when they have an internal temperature of 180 degrees and the meat pulls away from the bone.
  • Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing into individual ribs. Garnish with crushed peanuts, if desired.

SPARERIBS - RUB (DRY?)



Spareribs - Rub (Dry?) image

Rub seasoning for spare ribs. Almost "dry", but molasses does add moisture to the rub. See reviews for a substitute - brown sugar to make it dry.

Provided by Kevin L.

Categories     Meat

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne
1 tablespoon cumin
2 teaspoons allspice
2 tablespoons chili powder
3 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup molasses

Steps:

  • Mix molasses and sugar together stir.
  • Add all other ingredients and mix well.
  • Pull membrane off of ribs - found on site an easy way to remove the membrane is to work a spoon, into the bottom center of the membrane, work it back and forth to form a "pocket" then slide thumbs in and work the membrane off from the center outward to the ends.
  • Use rub generously on spare ribs (I prefer cooking slowly at 200°F for about 4 to 5 hours, wrapped in heavy foil, finishing on outdoor grill).
  • Rub is sufficient for two to three full rack of ribs or more - I tend to put a lot on.
  • I have retained juices from cooking as extra sauce when serving ribs.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for spare ribs or baby back ribs. Spare ribs are meatier and have more flavor, while baby back ribs are leaner and more tender.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the rub and smoke penetrate the meat.
  • Make a flavorful dry rub: Combine spices, herbs, and sugar in a bowl. The rub should be flavorful but not too salty.
  • Apply the rub to the ribs: Rub the ribs all over with the dry rub. Be sure to get the rub into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Let the ribs rest: Let the ribs rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the rub to penetrate the meat.
  • Smoke the ribs: Smoke the ribs at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked through.
  • Sauce the ribs (optional): If desired, you can sauce the ribs during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will give the ribs a sticky, caramelized glaze.
  • Let the ribs rest again: Let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Dry rub spare ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make melt-in-your-mouth ribs that will impress your friends and family. So fire up your smoker and get started!
