Ribs

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim excess fat.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

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

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the dry rub mixture generously over both sides of the ribs. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for best flavor.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Grill

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

  5. 5

    Cook the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the grill bone side down. Cook for about 2 to 3 hours, turning occasionally and basting with barbecue sauce in the last 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Check for Doneness

    The ribs are done when they are tender and the meat has pulled back from the bones slightly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove ribs from the grill, let rest for 10 minutes, then cut into serving portions. Serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
