More recipes for ribs below, including spareribs and country-style ribs.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons cumin powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

Preparation:

Rub seasoning using 1-2 tablespoons per slab of ribs. I use more because I like them hot. Put on grill in single layer away from direct heat source. cook slowly for 1 1/2 to 2 hours on low heat. After cooking I wrap the ribs in foil and let them rest for 30 min. this makes for very tender ribs. This seasoning mixture will keep in sealed jar in the refrigerator.

Great Tasting/Easy to MakeJuly 30, 2008By nhshooter
"I used this rub for country style spare ribs for my gun club, and got nothing but compliments...unusual from that bunch. They even requested the same rub on pork steaks the following week. At the same time my wife, a great cook, loves the rub. This one is a winner, and it is easy to make. Like another reviewer, I cut a little of the cayenne and chili powder out...not much."
