Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 pounds of baby back pork ribs (one big slab of ribs)
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup barbeque sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your gas grill to high heat. If you’re using a charcoal grill, place charcoal on one side and grease the grill grates with fat or oil.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a jar and shake to combine – chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt & pepper.
- Take each rib rack and trim the membrane from the back of the ribs using a knife.
- Spread the dry rub on the ribs, carefully covering as much of the surface as possible. If the rub doesn’t stick, coat the ribs in olive oil, and then apply the rub.
- Place a tray or aluminum foil on the lower rack to avoid liquids dripping into the fire.
- Place ribs on the top rack, away from direct heat.
- Close the lid of the grill and let the slab of ribs cook for 90 minutes without opening the lid.
- After this time has passed, lift the lid and cover the ribs with some bbq sauce.
- Leave the ribs for another 5 minutes or so until the internal temperature reaches 190°F.
- Serve whole or cut in pieces between the rib bones.
