Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the St Louis cut pork ribs. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    Generously apply the dry rub to both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 300°F/150°C).

  5. 5

    Grill the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down. Cook for about 2-3 hours, turning occasionally and basting with BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

  6. 6

    Check for Doneness

    The ribs are done when they are tender and the meat pulls away from the bones easily. You can use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 190°F (88°C).

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
