BBQ Pork Spare Ribs

One of my favorite things in the world to eat are barbequed ribs. I haven't been to successful in getting down a recipe that I really like though. I've made them in the oven, I've made them on the grill, I've boiled them and then finished them in the oven, but alas I still haven't found that "slap your momma" good recipe. One thing that I am coming to the realization of is that, the secret truly is in a killer dry rub and a killer sauce! The recipe that I used this time around came out pretty good but I think with a little more experimenting it could be great!

Ingredients:
1 slab spare ribs
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon of chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika (smoked if you got it)
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried minced onion (this will be in the spice section of the grocery store)
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups of your favorite barbeque sauce for basting

Directions:
Preheat your grill and make sure that your charcoal is very low in the in the grill. Or if you are using a gas grill you will want a medium low heat.

1)Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and throw your slab on the pan. I read that taking the membrane off of the bone side of the ribs helps in getting a more tender piece of meat. I tried this and I think it does help, it does take a little bit of time but the end result is good.

2)Mix all of your dry ingredients together in a bowl and then pack it on to your slab. If you have time, let you meat sit with this rub on it for at least an hour in the refrigerator. If you have A Lot of time let it sit overnight or 48 hours in the refrigerator.

3)When the grill is ready place meat on the grill. Cook the meat for about 10-15 mins. then turn it and grill the other side for the same time. Continue this for the next 2-3 hours.

4)When your meat is nearly done grab a basting brush and your bbq sauce. Baste each side of the meat and watch it on the grill so it doesn't burn. Try to get at least 2 coats per side.

5)Once the meat is completely done, place it on a large baking sheet and let it rest for 10 mins. before cutting it. After it has rested cut and serve.
