Dad's Ribs
a classic rib recipe from my dad, using a dry spice rub
Servings: 4
Ingredients
For The Spice Rub
- 3 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp ground fennel
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1 tsp chili powder
The Rest
- 2 racks pork ribs baby back or St. Louis style
- 1 bottle bbq sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225°F (105°C).
- Rub down ribs with spice mix.
- Wrap tightly in foil and place on a foil lined tray.
- Bake at 225°F (105°C) for 2-3 hours. You want the ribs super tender and fully cooked at this point, but don’t worry about having any color or char yet.
- Snip a hole in the foil to drain out and save any liquid released while the ribs were cooking. Mix that liquid with about 3/4 C of BBQ sauce and slather all over ribs. You can grill them, brushing with more BBQ sauce and letting them char on each side, or broil them in your oven, till the sugars in the BBQ sauce are sticky, bubbly and just start to char.
- Let ribs cool for about 5 mins, then slice up and eat with some extra BBQ sauce on the side.
