Rib Tips Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rib Tips

    Rinse the rib tips under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Apply the Rub

    Rub the olive oil over the rib tips, then generously apply the dry rub mixture all over the rib tips, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them rest for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Smoker

    Soak the hickory wood chips in water for about 30 minutes. Preheat your grill or smoker to a medium heat (around 250°F/121°C).

  5. 5

    Smoke the Rib Tips

    Place the rib tips on the grill or smoker, using the soaked hickory wood chips for added flavor. Smoke the rib tips for about 2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).

  6. 6

    Char-Grill

    After smoking, transfer the rib tips to a hot grill and char-grill for about 5-10 minutes on each side, until nicely caramelized.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
