Grilled Baby Back Ribs on the Arteflame Grill
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
For the Spice Rub:- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Ribs:
- 3 pounds baby back pork ribs
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Directions:
-
Preheat the Arteflame Grill: Aim for a medium heat setup by concentrating coals or using the outer edge for indirect grilling.
-
Prepare the Spice Rub: Mix cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small container. Shake well to blend.
-
Prep the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of each rack of ribs. Use a knife to lift and paper towels for grip, pulling off the membrane. Evenly coat the ribs with the spice rub mixture, applying generously but avoiding rubbing too vigorously to keep a balanced flavor.
-
Grill Setup: Place aluminum foil on the lower part of the grill to catch drippings and prevent flare-ups. Position the ribs on the grill, ensuring they are not directly over the coals for even, indirect cooking.
-
Grill the Ribs: Close the grill lid and let the ribs cook undisturbed for about 1 hour. The ribs are ready when the meat easily pulls away from the bone, and an instant-read thermometer reads 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part.
-
Add the Barbecue Sauce: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce for a tangy finish. Let the sauce caramelize and slightly char for extra flavor.
-
Serve: Either serve the ribs as a whole rack or cut between each rib bone and arrange them on a platter.
What to Serve With:
Complement your baby back ribs with:
- Southern Dill Potato Salad
