Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 slabs pork spare ribs, membranes removed
1 1/2 tablespoons Rib Rub
2 to 3 cups Rodney Scott's Sauce

Steps:

  • Fire up your grill to between 200°F and 250°F. Season each slab with rib rub. Make sure you get under the flap, the little piece of meat that dangles on the bone side of the ribs. Place seasoned ribs on grill grate, bone-sides down, with fatty ends toward middle of grill. (The middle of the grill tends to be hotter, so that will ensure that the thicker part of the rib gets cooked properly.)
  • Close the grill and cook: You are looking for caramelization on the ribs before you flip them; that should take about 1½ hours. Open the grill and look for caramelization on the bone.
  • If it's ready, use the mop-flip-mop method: Mop the visible side of the meat with sauce. Flip the meat over. Mop the meat again. Close the grill; bring it back up to temperature, between 200° to 250°. Cook until the second sides get that same caramelized look.
  • To check doneness, we pick up a slab of ribs with a pair of tongs and check how much give there is. When you pick the slab up, it should sag or flop easily. If a slight tear develops in the meat between the bones, that's another sign of doneness.

For South Carolina pitmaster Rodney Scott, smoke is the primary seasoning for his famous pork spare ribs...but the all-important dry rub is a close second. This rib rub is used in Scott's Spare Ribs recipe and is featured in the cookbook, Rodney Scott's World of BBQ, ($24.99, amazon.com).

Yield Makes 2 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/4 cup Jesus's Tears (aka MSG)
1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup ground paprika
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all of the ingredients and place in an airtight container. Cover and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

Tips:

  • For a more intense flavor, marinate the ribs for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the ribs, you can still make this recipe. Just rub the spices on the ribs and let them sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the ribs. They should be cooked until they are tender and fall off the bone, but not so much that they are dry.
  • If you are cooking the ribs in the oven, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or corn on the cob.

Conclusion:

Rodney Scott's rib rub is a delicious and easy-to-make spice blend that will give your ribs a smoky, flavorful crust. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create ribs that are sure to be a hit at your next cookout or party. So next time you're looking for a new rib recipe, give Rodney Scott's rib rub a try.
