Ingredients

Instructions

  • Remove spare ribs from packaging and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place on a rimmed baking sheet and coat with olive oil. Sprinkle with pork rub and set aside.
  • Prepare a grill fire to 250° with hickory or pecan for smoke flavor.
  • Place spare ribs onto a grill or smoker and cook with the grill closed 1 to 1 1/2 hours until desired smokiness is reached.
  • Remove from the grill to a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil.
  • Brush with a thick layer of Sweet Mustard.
  • Make a sealed foil packet around the ribs, you may need to use pieces of aluminum foil.
  • Return to the grill (we like to use the pellet grill for this step) or oven until internal temperature reaches 200°- 209° using a digital meat thermometer.
  • Remove from grill and rest for 15- 20 minutes.
  • Carefully open the foil and remove the ribs to a cutting board. Slice between the rib bones.
  • Serve with additional sweet mustard if desired.

Notes

Store leftover ribs wrapped in foil or in a zip top bag in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
Reheat in a 350° oven on a sheet pan for 10 minutes or in a covered skillet with a couple of tablespoons of water for 5-8 minutes.
