Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 (about 4 pounds each) slabs beef spareribs
2 cups Neely's BBQ Dry Rub, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups paprika
3/4 cup sugar
3 3/4 tablespoons onion powder

Steps:

  • 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 each slab with 1/4 to 1/2 cup Neely's BBQ Dry Rub. Wrap ribs with plastic wrap 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. Remove from grill.
  • For dry ribs: Sprinkle extra Neely's BBQ Dry Rub over ribs, cut between the bones and serve.
  • In a bowl stir together the paprika, sugar and onion powder until combined. Keep in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

These ribs were a huge disappointment. They were tough, dry, and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ribs turned out tough and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The ribs were a little too fatty for my taste, but the flavor was good.

These ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and so flavorful. I will definitely be making these again!

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The ribs were tender and flavorful, but I would have liked them to be a little more smoky. I'll probably experiment with different types of wood chips next time.

The ribs were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These ribs were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll probably cut back on the chili powder next time.

This recipe was a hit at my last cookout! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and had a delicious smoky flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
