Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks baby back ribs (about 4 pounds)
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 cups barbecue sauce (plus more for serving)
Instructions
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, black pepper, and salt.
- Brush ribs with mustard and olive oil, then rub the spice mixture all over the ribs. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-low heat (about 275°F to 300°F) using indirect heat.
- Place ribs on the grill, bone side down, away from direct flames. Close the lid and cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, maintaining temperature.
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush ribs generously with barbecue sauce and continue grilling until sauce is sticky and caramelized.
- Remove ribs from grill, rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve with extra sauce on the side.
Notes
- Use a drip pan and wood chips for added smoke flavor.
- Wrap ribs in foil during the first 2 hours for extra tenderness (optional).
- Baby back ribs or St. Louis style both work great for grilling.
