Enjoy Fabulous Memorial Day Menu!
Barbeque Baby Back Ribs Slow Cook
2 Slabs of Ribs
Basic Dry Rub (makes 1 cup)
½ cup of sweet paprika
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons mild chili powder
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons of salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried mustard
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon of ground cloves or if you prefer ground allspice
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well, should yield one cup.
*With your hands, rub the mixture into the ribs. (For Best Results, Marinate ribs in dry rub mixture (in the refrigerator ) overnight if you can. Of at least a couple of hours before grilling.
*Heat your gas or barbeque grill to a temperature of 170 to 220 degrees, if you are going to cook ribs slow - next place your ribs over “indirect heat” (slow cooking process) and cook from 4 to 6 hours.
If you are not going to cook ribs slow the here is the suggested temperature medium heat 325°. Cook the ribs slowly for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, over medium heat (325° to 350°) and over a drip pan half filled with water. If in the first 30 minutes the ribs are browning too quickly, shut the grill vents.
Determining when pork ribs are done is a little tricky, but after 1-1/2 to 2 hours, you can be virtually certain that the ribs are fully cooked. However, the meat's color is not an indication of doneness. Smoke from the coals or from burning wood chips can turn the interior of the meat pink and leave you with the impression that it's not cooked. If you can move the rib bones back and forth without a lot of resistance after 1-1/2 to 2 hours, the meat is cooked.
