The Best Grilled
Ribs Recipe
Ingredients :
1/4 cup packed
dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons
kosher salt
3 tablespoons
smoked paprika
1 tablespoon
garlic powder
1 tablespoon dry
mustard
1 tablespoon
black pepper
3 slabs baby back
pork ribs, membrane removed (about 6 lb.)
2 tablespoons
olive oil
How to Make It :
Step 1
Stir together
brown sugar, salt, paprika, garlic powder, dry mustard, and pepper in a small
bowl.
Step 2
Rub ribs with
olive oil, and coat evenly with brown sugar mixture, pressing to adhere. Stack
ribs together, and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Place on a baking sheet, and
chill 8 hours. Remove plastic wrap, and let ribs stand at room temperature 30 minutes
before grilling.
Step 3
Preheat a gas
grill to medium (350°F to 400°F) on 1 side; keep other side unlit. Place rib
slabs, meaty side up, on oiled grates over unlit side of the grill, stacking 1
on top of another.
Step 4
Grill, covered,
for 2 hours, rotating bottom slab of ribs to top of stack every 40 minutes.
Reduce grill temperature to low (250°F to 300°F); unstack rib slabs, and place
side by side over unlit side of grill. Grill ribs, covered, until meat is
tender and starts to separate under slight pressure and tips of the bones are
exposed about 1/2 inch, about 30 minutes. Remove ribs from grill, and let rest
10 minutes before serving.
