Ingredients

  • 2 racks baby back ribs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup Pork Rub

Instructions

  • Place ribs on a rimmed sheet pan and pat dry using paper towels.
  • Brush the meaty side of the ribs with olive oil and sprinkle with pork rub.
  • Allow ribs to rest while you prepare the grill to 250° using hickory or pecan for smoke flavor.
  • Place the ribs, meaty side up over indirect fire. Cook with the grill closed for about 1 hour 15 minutes. Check the ribs with a digital meat thermometer and continue to cook until ribs reach between 190° to 205°.
  • Remove to a clean sheet pan and allow to rest about 15 minutes. Move to a cutting board and slice to serve.

Notes

Store ribs wrapped in 2 layers of plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Add an additional layer of foil or use a vacuum seal bag to store in the freezer up to 3 months.
Reheat sliced ribs in a covered skillet with a tablespoon of water over medium heat. Turn after about 3 minutes and continue to cook until heated through.
