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.

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

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.

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

4 pounds bone-in country pork rib rack
Crushed unsalted peanuts, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Categories     Pork

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 racks pork ribs (or as many racks as required)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder
2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Cut pork ribs into sections of 3 or 4 bones.
  • Mix remaining ingredients well, sprinkle on both sides of ribs and rub into the meat.
  • Seal rib sections in foil with a tablespoon of water in each package, and bake for 2 hours on a cookie sheet in the center of the oven.
  • Open foil carefully as steam escapes.
  • Can be crisped on a hot BBQ if desired but will be great just the way it is.
  • (Enjoy with oven cooked potato nuggets for a really simple meal).

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for dry-rub ribs, but you can also use spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, then cut the ribs into individual portions.
  • Make the dry rub: Combine a mixture of spices and herbs to create a flavorful rub. Common ingredients include brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Apply the dry rub: Generously apply the dry rub to all sides of the ribs, making sure to get into the nooks and crannies.
  • Let the ribs rest: Allow the ribs to rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Smoke the ribs: Smoke the ribs over indirect heat at a temperature of 225-250°F for 2-3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and fall off the bone.
  • Glaze the ribs (optional): For a sweeter and more flavorful rib, brush the ribs with a glaze made from honey, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Let the ribs rest: Allow the ribs to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Dry-rub spare ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little preparation and patience, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in your own backyard. So fire up your smoker and give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
