Ingredients:
- 4 racks of ribs
- Barbecue sauce
- Salt
- Sugar
- Ground cumin
- Black pepper
- Chili powder
- Paprika
Instructions:
-
Combine rub ingredients: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, sugar, ground cumin, black pepper, chili powder, and paprika to create the spice rub.
-
Rub rib racks well with spice rub: Generously coat each rack of ribs with the prepared spice rub, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
-
Let them sit in the refrigerator: Place the seasoned ribs in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Aim for a minimum of one hour, but longer marination will enhance the taste.
-
Heat up barbecue: Preheat your barbecue grill on high heat to prepare for cooking the ribs.
-
Brown the ribs over direct heat: Place the seasoned ribs directly over the hot grill and cook for about five minutes on each side, or until nicely browned. This initial searing adds depth of flavor to the ribs.
-
Move ribs to indirect heat: After browning, transfer the ribs away from direct heat. Continue cooking them for at least 45 minutes, flipping them occasionally for even cooking.
-
Adjust grill settings: Depending on your grill type, arrange the coals to one side if using a charcoal grill, or turn off one burner if using a gas grill. This indirect heat method ensures the ribs cook evenly without burning.
-
Brush with barbecue sauce: Generously brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce, ensuring each rack is coated with a tantalizing layer of flavor.
-
Cook until done: Allow the ribs to cook until tender and done, typically for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, remove the ribs from the grill and cut them into individual portions. Serve hot, accompanied by extra barbecue sauce for dipping.
Tips:
- For added spice, try using a hot barbecue sauce or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice rub.
- If you prefer a smokier flavor, consider using a smoker instead of a traditional grill.
- Serve the ribs with classic sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or baked beans for a complete barbecue feast.
