Sweet & Smoky Dry Rub for Ribs

Here’s a look at what you need to get started:

Sweet & Smoky Dry Rub for Ribs ### Ingredients

1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon mustard powder

Instructions

Start by mixing all the dry ingredients together in a bowl until they are well combined. Feel free to taste and adjust as needed – remember, this is yours!
Once mixed, rub it generously all over your ribs. Make sure to get it everywhere - the more, the better! Don’t be shy.
After you’ve applied the rub, let those beauties sit for at least an hour. If you can let them marinate overnight, even better! This allows the flavors to really sink in.
Preheat your grill or smoker to about 225°F (107°C). The low and slow approach is what makes those ribs juicy and tender, honey!
Place your ribs on the grill, bone side down, and let the magic happen. Cook them for about 4-6 hours, depending on how thick they are and how smoky you like them.
If you’re feeling fancy, you can wrap them in foil halfway through to keep them moist. Just don’t forget to unwrap them for the last 30 minutes to get that nice bark!
Once done, let your ribs rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing into them. This helps to seal in all those delicious juices.

Now, slice up those ribs and get ready to enjoy a feast that’s bursting with flavor. Pair these with some sides like coleslaw or cornbread, and you’ve got yourself a barbecue to remember. Dig in and relish every bite!
