SCOTT'S DRY PORK AND RIB RUB

None of the pork rub recipes I tried gave me the flavor I was going for. I decided to develop my own, and after countless tries, I finally fine-tuned my recipe to one I love. This works well for ribs, pulled-pork, pork chops, etc. It makes enough for several racks of ribs or pork butts. This is a spicy but not too hot recipe. If you want a bit more heat, add more cayenne pepper.Enjoy.

Time 5m

Yield 3-4 Racks of ribs or pork butts

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (like Lawry's)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Steps:

  • Sift all ingredients together.I use a food processor to get a fine powder.
  • Put a liberal amount of the dry rub on the meat you wish to season.
  • Rub seasoning into the meat, covering entire surface.
  • Let meat sit at least a couple of hours in order to let the spices work into it. Overnight is better.
  • Prepare your pork as you wish. I like to cook pork butts and ribs low and slow so they fall apart. A crockpot works good if you don't want to run your oven for several hours. I finish my ribs on the grill or under the broiler with BBQ sauce.
  • Enjoy.

RODNEY SCOTT'S SPARE RIBS

Where there's smoke, there's mouthwatering barbecue-at least in the presence of a pro pitmaster like Rodney Scott. This stellar ribs recipe comes from his new book, Rodney Scott's World of BBQ, ($24.99, amazon.com).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices to create a flavorful rub. Some popular spices for ribs include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add brown sugar, honey, mustard, or even coffee grounds to your rub for a unique flavor.
  • Make sure to rub the ribs thoroughly with the spice mixture. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat and create a delicious crust.
  • Let the ribs rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the rub to soak into the meat and develop its flavor.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and at a low temperature. This will help the meat tenderize and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs with sauce or marinade during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will help keep the ribs moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the ribs rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and make them even more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Rodney Scott's rib rub is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that will help you create fall-off-the-bone ribs. With its combination of spices and simple ingredients, this rub is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
