Dave's Rib Rub Recipe
I'm about to take you on a journey into the world of mouthwatering barbecue with Famous Dave's Rib Rub recipe.
Equipment
- Grill or smoker
- Hardwood chips (like hickory or oak)
- Mixing bowl
- Aluminium foil
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of paprika
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of chili powder
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl to create your Famous Dave's Rib Rub.
- Prep your ribs by removing the membrane from the back of the rack, and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Generously apply the rub to both sides of the ribs, pressing it in to ensure it adheres.
- Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and let them sit in the fridge for about 2 hours to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat your grill or smoker to a low heat, around 225°F (107°C).
- Place the ribs, bone-side down, on the grill. Add hardwood chips for that smoky goodness.
- Close the lid and let them cook for 3 to 4 hours, occasionally adding more wood chips.
- Once the ribs are tender and the internal temperature reaches 190-203°F (88-95°C), they're ready to be devoured.
