Tender Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients
- 1 rack of baby back ribs
- ½ cup coconut palm sugar
- 2 Tbsp paprika
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Remove the skin off the back of the ribs or ask your butcher to do so before you leave the store or meat market.
- Mix all powdered ingredients in a bowl to form a rub.
- Apply the rub to the ribs and let them stay overnight in the refrigerator.
- Grill the ribs on indirect heat for about an hour or until the temperature reaches 155°F.
- Remove the ribs from the grill and drizzle barbecue sauce (recipe above) over the top of them.
- Wrap the ribs individually in aluminum foil and put in oven at 225 - 250°F for another 45 minutes, until the meat tenderizes in the oven and comes right off the bone.
- Serve hot with additional barbecue sauce for dipping!
Notes
Barbecue/Grilling Tips:
- Prepare meat by trimming away any excess fat.
- If grilling ribs or pork steaks, cook meat slowly on low heat. The best things take time. The meat could be cooked in 1-2 hours, but it would be ideal to slow-cook it for 2-4 hours.
- Meat is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees for pork and 165 for poultry.
