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.

Time 4h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for dry rubs, as they are more tender and flavorful. Spare ribs are also a good option, but they are a bit tougher and require longer cooking.
  • Make sure your ribs are trimmed: Remove any excess fat or skin from the ribs before applying the rub. This will help the rub adhere better to the meat and create a more flavorful crust.
  • Use a generous amount of rub: Don't be afraid to use a lot of rub! The more rub you use, the more flavor your ribs will have. Be sure to rub the spices evenly all over the ribs.
  • Let the ribs rest: After you apply the rub, let the ribs rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors of the rub to penetrate the meat.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook dry rub ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs periodically: While the ribs are cooking, baste them with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water. This will help to keep the ribs moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Dry rub ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can create fall-off-the-bone ribs that are sure to impress your friends and family. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy some amazing ribs!
