Grilled Dry-Rub Pastured Spare Ribs

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel the membrane and pat the ribs dry. Mix the rub and coat both sides.

  2. 2

    Set up the grill for indirect medium-low heat (about 275F).

  3. 3

    Grill the ribs bone-side down over indirect heat for 2-2.5 hours, until tender and pulling from the bone.

  4. 4

    Rest 10 minutes, then cut between the bones.

Notes

Farm tip: Keep the ribs over indirect heat and the lid closed — low and slow is what makes them tender.

Serving suggestion: Serve with pickles, slaw, and barbecue sauce on the side.
