Ribs

Method

Ribs Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the pork spare ribs. This helps to tenderize the meat.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

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

  3. 3

    Apply the Rub

    Generously apply the dry rub mixture to both sides of the ribs. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Cooking the Ribs

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

  2. 5

    Cook the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover the ribs with another piece of foil. Bake for 3 hours, until tender.

  3. 6

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven, uncover them, and brush with BBQ sauce. Return to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 30 minutes.

Burnt Ends Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Brisket

    Trim excess fat from the beef brisket and cut it into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 8

    Make the Dry Rub

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

  3. 9

    Apply the Rub

    Apply the dry rub mixture evenly over the cubes of brisket. Let it sit for about 30 minutes.

Cooking the Burnt Ends

  1. 10

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 225°F - 250°F).

  2. 11

    Smoke the Brisket

    Place the brisket cubes on the grill and smoke them for about 4 hours, until they are tender and have a nice bark.

  3. 12

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Remove the brisket from the grill and place it in a baking dish. Pour BBQ sauce over the brisket cubes and toss to coat. Return to the grill and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
