Pork ribs are a classic dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are typically cooked low and slow, allowing the meat to become tender and fall off the bone. There are many different ways to cook pork ribs, but one of the most popular methods is to use a dry rub. A dry rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is applied to the ribs before they are cooked. This helps to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the ribs, while keeping the inside moist and juicy. In this article, we will provide you with a few recipes for simple pork rib dry rubs that you can easily make at home.

SIMPLE PORK RIB DRY RUB



Simple Pork Rib Dry Rub image

I have used this simple rub to make ribs on the barbi in both Memphis, where I learned, and England, where I now live. The dry rub will stop the ribs from burning on the outside, as happens with some wet sauces. This rub is hot and sweet, which makes it perfect for ribs. The proportions of ingredients can be adjusted to taste. On two continents, I've received nothing but compliments for this recipe. I use this for approximately 2 kilograms ribs.

SCOTT'S DRY PORK AND RIB RUB



Scott's Dry Pork and Rib Rub image

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.

Provided by Scott Rhoades

Categories     Pork

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.

PORK RIB RUB



Pork Rib Rub image

A delicious rub for baby back pork ribs! Makes enough rub for 6 racks of ribs. Ground rosemary is almost impossible to find in stores. I grind up dried rosemary leaves in a molcajete, with a mortar and pestle, or a clean coffee grinder. Trust me, it's worth the few extra minutes it takes!

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:

  • Choose high-quality pork ribs for the best results. Look for ribs that are meaty and have good marbling.
  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook evenly and will make them more tender.
  • Use a flavorful dry rub to coat the ribs. The dry rub will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the ribs and will add flavor to the meat.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow. This will help to tenderize the meat and will allow the flavors of the dry rub to penetrate the ribs.
  • Baste the ribs with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water during the last hour of cooking. This will help to keep the ribs moist and will add a nice glaze to the outside of the ribs.
  • Let the ribs rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and will make the ribs more tender.

Conclusion:

Pork ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are grilling, smoking, or baking them, there are many ways to cook pork ribs. By following these simple tips, you can create fall-off-the-bone ribs that will be the star of your next meal.
