Ultimate Pork Rib

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 300-350°F (150-175°C). If using a charcoal grill, set up for indirect heat.

2. While the grill is heating up, prepare the ribs. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under the membrane to lift it, then grip it with a paper towel and peel it off. This step allows the flavors to penetrate the meat more effectively.

3. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a dry rub.

4. Rub the spice mixture generously all over the ribs, ensuring even coverage on both sides.

5. Place the ribs on the preheated grill, bone side down. Cook for about 2-2.5 hours, rotating occasionally to ensure even cooking. For added flavor, you can add wood chips like apple or hickory to the grill for a smoky taste.

6. In the last 15-20 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce, brushing on several layers and allowing the sauce to caramelize.

7. The ribs are ready when the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily. You can also use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C) for perfectly cooked ribs.

8. Once done, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
