Time 14h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups paprika
3/4 cup sugar
3 3/4 tablespoons onion powder
2 (about 4 pounds each) slabs beef spareribs
2 (about 3 pounds each) slabs pork spareribs
Neely's BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups ketchup
1 cup water
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
5 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon ground mustard

Steps:

  • For the rub:
  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir until combined. Keep in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
  • For the ribs:
  • Rinse and dry ribs. Place on a clean cutting board and pull off the membrane, the thin fatty skin that lines the underside of the ribs. Trim the ribs of excess fat and meat. Liberally season both sides of the ribs with 1/4 to 1/2 cup Neely's BBQ Rub. Wrap ribs and refrigerate for at least 8 hours so flavors can permeate.
  • Preheat grill to 250 degrees F using hickory and charcoal.
  • Use indirect heat and cook with the cover down.
  • Place ribs, meatier side down, on the grill away from the coals. Cook beef 2 hours, adding more coals as needed. Turn and cook for 45 minutes more, or until the ribs "bend" and the meat easily separates from the bone using a fork. Cook the pork ribs 3 hours. Turn and cook another hour, or until ribs bend. Remove from grill.
  • For dry ribs: Sprinkle extra Neely's BBQ seasoning over ribs, cut bones and serve.
  • For wet ribs: Coat ribs with Neely's BBQ Sauce, cut and serve.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Cooked uncovered, stirring frequently, for 1 hour 15 minutes.

I've tried many different rib recipes, and this one is by far the best. The ribs are always tender and juicy, and the sauce is to die for.

I'm not a big fan of ribs, but these were actually really good. The meat was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful without being too sweet.

These ribs were absolutely fall-off-the-bone tender and had a delicious smoky flavor. I used a hickory smoker, and the ribs cooked perfectly in about 3 hours. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves ribs!
