Barbecue Ribs

Sheila
I use a dry rub to marinate these ribs before I bake them in the oven slow and low, then I throw them on the grill and slather them in my favorite bbq sauce. These are the best ribs ever!

Ingredients
  

  • 6 pounds Baby Back Ribs

Rib Rub

  • 1 1/2 tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Lawrys Season Pepper heaping
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Roasted Cumin regular cumin works as well
  • 1/2 tsp Ancho Chili Powder

Grilling

  • 1 cup Sweet Baby Rays Original Barbecue Sauce or you can use your favorite

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the rub ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Rinse ribs in cold water and pat dry with paper towel, lay ribs in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle all of the Rib Rub over the ribs and rub it in. Cover roaster with heavy duty oven proof plastic wrap making sure it’s tight over the pan not laying on ribs, then cover the plastic wrap with tight layer of aluminum foil. Bake for 3 hours at 300 degrees. Remove from oven, allow to cool for a few minutes before removing cover, there will be a lot of steam when you remove the foil, be careful not to burn yourself.
  • Place pre-baked ribs on grill over medium to low heat. Slather with your favorite barbecue sauce, shut lid of grill and allowing sauce to cook into and caramelize on the ribs.
    Cook time: approximately 15 minutes.
  • Remove ribs from grill using meat tongs. Cut into serving size portions, place on a platter for serving.

Notes

Serve with Roasted Potatoes, Baked Beans, Cole Slaw, Corn on the Cob.
Make Ahead: This recipe is easy to make up to two days in advance just cook the ribs in the oven, allow to cool, and refrigerate until ready to grill. Remove from refrigerator and allow to come up to room temp, place on grill slather in barbecue sauce and cook for 15 minutes over low heat or until ribs are heated through and sauce is getting nice and sticky on the meat!
