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.

Provided by Hey Jude

Categories     Pork

Time 6h45m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup kosher salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup garlic seasoning
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup lemon pepper
1/4 cup onion salt
2 tablespoons fresh coarse ground black pepper
2 tablespoons whole celery seeds
1 teaspoon crushed clove
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup Mrs. Dash seasoning mix
1/4 cup salt
2 sparerib racks
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup minced dried onion
1 (20 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (recipe specifies Dave's but use your favorite)

Steps:

  • Mix rib rub ingredients (first 14 ingredients) and store in an airtight container.
  • The night before cooking, trim the ribs of all excess fat and place them in a large plastic bag; pour in Italian dressing to coat; seal bag well, refrigerate for 4 hours, turning occasionally; remove and wipe dressing off then sprinkle each rib with pepper then 1/4 cup of the brown sugar and 1/2 cup of the onion flakes.
  • Wrap each rib in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
  • Next day: remove from wrap and wipe sludge off ribs; generously coat front and back of ribs with rib rub and, using your hands, rub seasoning into meat and set aside.
  • Smoking takes 6 hours.
  • Prepare about 15 briquettes until they're red hot; place coals on one end of grill and place 1 pound of green hickory around coals (use water-soaked hickory chunks if you can't find freshly cut hickory).
  • Keep internal temperature of the grill at 200-225°F and add more charcoal and hickory chunks every hour as needed.
  • Place ribs bone side down but not directly over hot coals; after 3 hours, remove ribs from grill and wrap in foil; hold in covered grill at 180-200°F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until fork tender.
  • Build a really hot bed of coals over the entire bottom of the grill.
  • This goes fast- place ribs back on grill to add char flavor; when meat becomes bubbly it's done.
  • Slather with barbecue sauce and let the heat caramelize the sauce.
  • According to Dave, this caramelizing with the charring and slow smoking is the secret to tender, smoky ribs the way it's in the deep south.
  • Take your time, visit with friends and drink some beer while slow cooking these ribs.

Tips:

  • Use a spice grinder to achieve the best consistency for your rub.
  • Apply the rub generously to your ribs, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
  • Let the ribs rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow to ensure that they are tender and juicy.
  • Baste the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking to add extra flavor and moisture.
  • Let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Dave's Memphis Rib Rub is a flavorful and versatile rub that can be used on ribs, pork, chicken, and even vegetables. The rub is easy to make and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months. With its perfect blend of spices, Dave's Memphis Rib Rub will add a delicious smoky flavor to your favorite grilled dishes.
