Ingredients

  • 2 racks baby back ribs
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon granulated onion
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1

Step 1

Combine all dry rub ingredients (cumin, paprika, granulated garlic, granulated onion, chili powder, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper) in a large bowl and mix well.

2

Step 2

Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, and snip off the membrane as much as possible.

3

Step 3

Sprinkle the dry rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark and spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs.

4

Step 4

2-24 hours

Cover ribs with aluminum foil and a plastic bag. Refrigerate ribs for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

5

Step 5

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

6

Step 6

2 1/2 – 3 hours

Line a 13x9 baking pan with non-stick foil. Place the ribs, still wrapped in foil, meaty side up in the pan. Bake the ribs for 2 1/2 – 3 hours.

7

Step 7

Remove the ribs from the oven and let stand.

8

Step 8

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Remember to lightly oil the grates for an easy clean-up.

9

Step 9

at least 30 minutes

Let the ribs cool for at least 30 minutes to let them firm up before moving to the grill.

10

Step 10

Remove the racks from the foil and brush with barbeque sauce.

11

Step 11

Lay ribs on the top rack of the grill.

12

Step 12

3 to 5 minutes per side

Grill the ribs for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Brush sauce on the ribs while they're grilling until they are nicely caramelized. Frequently check the ribs while grilling to prevent burning.

Step 13

Alternatively, if an outdoor grill is not available or weather does not permit, finish the ribs by broiling them in the oven.
