BBQ Ribs - Shelle Style

Aldi just happened to have a nice set of pork ribs on sale for $5.63... how is a girl to pass that up? Yeah, I know... you can't. So here is Shelle's way of making ribs.. I adjust my seasoning for beef versus pork ribs, so remember this is my Pork Dry Rub recipe. I will give you my Beef Rub recipe whenever I find ribs on sale again!! :D

**Sorry about the picture... as my hands were rather greasy and gross I had Reed take a picture... and ... uhm... he is kinda shaky! :D

Shelle's Pork Rib Dry Rub
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dry oregano
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil


Mix the rub ingredients together well in a small bowl.

Place the rack of ribs on a double thickness sheet of aluminum foil (1 large sheet folded in half so it is strong and thick). Pour the rub over the ribs and work the rub fully and evenly into the ribs. Seal the top with another double thickness sheet of aluminum foil. Refrigerate over night or at least 4 hours.

Remove the meat from the fridge and allow to come to semi-room temperature while you preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Bake until tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Remove the top layer of foil and cover with your favorite barbeque sauce (I will post my recipe for my homemade bbq sauce tomorrow). At this point you may either bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or take to your gas grill to finish the ribs off.

*As it was raining, I finished my ribs inside.
