Dry-Rub Barbecue Pork Roast image

Sweet, savory and smoky barbecue flavor doesn't have to come out of a bottle, as this recipe proves. Dig around among your spices and condiments, and it's likely you can whip together this dry rub without running to the store. The method is equally easy-just don't skip the butter basting step halfway through. It adds lots of flavor, moisture and helps the roast to brown. Once your roast is cooked, you've got enough pork to feed a full house, whether you want to serve it on a bun, shred it for tacos or just serve it sliced with extra barbecue sauce on the side!

SPICEJUNKIE'S BBQ DRY RUB NO.14



SpiceJunkie's BBQ dry rub No.14 image

I made this rub for my daughters 14th birthday, which is why I called it BBQ dry rub No.14. It gives pork a nice sweet flavor that goes well with all the other spices. This rub has a mild flavor and will not burn sensitive pallets. The light brown sugar gives a gentle sweetness to offset the other spices and is great on ribs or pork shoulder. For ribs sprinkle salt and pepper and refrigerate overnight. Larger cuts of meat can use more. For heat lovers, add 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (or any amount you like).

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.

Categories     Pork

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:

  • Use a flavorful rub: Combine spices like paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, and cumin for a classic BBQ flavor. Experiment with different rubs to suit your taste.
  • Dry the ribs before applying the rub: This helps the rub adhere better and creates a more even crust.
  • Let the ribs rest after applying the rub: This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and develop.
  • Slow-cook the ribs: This ensures that the meat becomes tender and falls off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs during cooking: This helps keep them moist and adds extra flavor.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful experience.

Conclusion:

Cooking pork BBQ ribs with a dry rub is a delicious and rewarding experience. With the right ingredients, technique, and a little patience, you can create mouthwatering ribs that will impress your friends and family. Remember to use a flavorful rub, dry the ribs before applying the rub, let the ribs rest after applying the rub, slow-cook the ribs, baste the ribs during cooking, and let the ribs rest before serving. Experiment with different rubs and cooking methods to find your perfect pork BBQ ribs recipe. Happy grilling!
