St. Louis Style Rib Platter Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Ribs

   Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Season the Ribs

   In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.

3. 3

   Cook the Ribs

   Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the ribs bone side down on the grill and cook for about 3 hours, maintaining a steady temperature.

4. 4

   Glaze with BBQ Sauce

   After 3 hours, brush the ribs with BBQ sauce and continue to cook for an additional 1 hour, basting with more sauce every 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Rest and Serve

   Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
