Recipe: Mom's Secret Baby Back Ribs (yummy to the tummy)




This is my mother in law's recipe she shared with me. This is one of the best ribs I've ever had.

RUB:

1 1/2 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup paprika
2 1/2  Tbsp Ground Black pepper
2 1/2 Tbsp Salt
1 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1 1/2 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 1/2 Tbsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Cayenne pepper

Mix all RUB ingredients together in a bowl. Remove thin cartilages from the back of the ribs (helps if you use a paper towel to grabe the thin film off). With one hand, use a spoon to get rub mixture and spread on slab while using the other hand to rub liberally on both sides of ribs, making sure none of the unused mixture touches the meat.  Wrap each slab in plastic and then stack the ribs one on top of the other. Wrap all ribs as one in heavy duty foil and refrigerate overnight.

Take out ribs, remove the plastic wrap and let sit for about 30 mins at room temperature before grilling. Re-wrap each slab in heavy duty foil  (cook covered).

Bank coals in grill; Place ribs fat side down. We usually have 3 slabs cooking, and being there is not enough room on the grill, we have to stack 2 together and rotate about every 20 minutes or so. Repeat moving one slab from top to bottom and vise versa. Cook for a total of 1 1/2 hours or when you cut in, the meat falls off the bone.  Last 30 min, brush BBQ sauce lightly (or to your preference) on one side of slab, cooking for 15 mins, and then flip over and brush more sauce on the other side.
