2. St. Louis-Style Baby Back Ribs Recipe
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 4½ lb baby back ribs
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ½ cup apple juice
- ¾ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Directions
Preheat oven to 275°F.
In a bowl, mix the sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, one tablespoon of salt, and two teaspoons of pepper together.
Next, take a rimmed baking sheet and place the ribs on it. Cover them with the mustard, then sprinkle with ¾ cup of the spice rub and coat evenly.
Pour some apple juice onto the baking sheet. Wrap securely with foil and bake until the meat is tender and easily separates from the bone. Cook for about two-and-a-half to three hours.
In the meantime, whisk ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining ½ cup of spice rub in a medium bowl. Keep aside about ½ cup of the mixture in a small bowl.
About 10 minutes before the ribs are done, heat the grill to medium-high. Grill the ribs and moisten them with the ketchup mixture. Keep turning them occasionally. Cook for about five to six minutes or until the ribs begin to char. When done, cut the ribs into pieces and serve with dips.
Prep tip: To remove the silvery membrane from a rack of ribs, slip a knife under the membrane and lift and slide it around to loosen. Using a paper towel, grab the loosened membrane and pull it off the rack.
