Grilled Baby Back Ribs

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Grilling

Ingredients

  • 4 2-pound racks baby back pork ribs
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. paprika
  • 2 tbsp. steak seasoning
  • 1 tbsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp. dried oregano
  • Vegetable oil, for the grill
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

  1. Turn the ribs bone-side up. Slip a paring knife between the thin membrane and the bone to loosen, then pull off the membrane. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, steak seasoning, cumin and oregano in a small bowl; run all over the ribs. Place on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.

  2. Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect grilling.

  3. Oil the grill grates. Place the ribs bone-side down, overlapping slightly if needed, on the cooler part of the grill. Cover and cook, rotating the rib racks once, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones, about 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes.

  4. Mix the honey, vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Transfer the ribs to direct heat. Brush with the honey mixture and continue to grill, uncovered, brushing with the honey mixture once more, until glazed, 5-10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into ribs.
