Grilled Baby Back Ribs on the Arteflame Grill

Elevate your barbecue game with this foolproof recipe for grilled baby back ribs on the Arteflame Grill. Featuring a savory homemade spice rub and a rich barbecue sauce, these ribs are sure to impress with their smoky flavor and tender, juicy texture.

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:

1. Preheat the Arteflame Grill

  • Aim for a medium heat setup by concentrating coals or using the outer edge for indirect grilling. The Arteflame's unique design allows for precise heat control, ensuring your ribs cook evenly.

2. Prepare the Spice Rub

  • In a small container, mix together the ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Shake well to blend the spices evenly.

3. Prep the Ribs

  • Remove the membrane from the back of each rack of ribs by using a knife to lift it and paper towels for grip. Evenly coat the ribs with the spice rub mixture, applying generously but gently to maintain balanced flavor.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Add the Barbecue Sauce

  • In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce for a tangy finish. Allow the sauce to caramelize and slightly char for extra flavor.

7. Serve

  • Serve the ribs as a whole rack or cut between each rib bone and arrange them on a platter. The ribs will be tender, juicy, and packed with flavor.

Alternatives and Variations:

1. Spicy Honey Glazed Ribs

  • Add a drizzle of honey and a dash of cayenne pepper to the barbecue sauce for a sweet and spicy twist.

2. Smoky Chipotle Ribs

  • Replace the chili powder with chipotle powder for a deeper, smoky flavor.

3. Herb-Crusted Ribs

  • Add dried rosemary, thyme, and oregano to the spice rub for a fragrant herb crust.

4. Mustard-Glazed Ribs

  • Brush the ribs with a mixture of Dijon mustard and brown sugar before applying the barbecue sauce for a tangy, sweet glaze.

5. Garlic and Herb Ribs

  • Mix minced garlic and fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme into the spice rub for an aromatic twist.

Best Pairings:

  • Side Dish: Serve with Southern Dill Potato Salad, Corn Fritters, or Shoepeg Corn Salad for a classic BBQ meal.
  • Drink: Pair with a cold beer, iced tea, or a refreshing lemonade.
  • Dessert: Finish with a slice of apple pie, peach cobbler, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Storing:

  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven, on the grill, in an air fryer, or microwave for a delicious meal later on.
