Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (2 to 3 pound) racks of baby back ribs
  • 1 cup favorite dry rub
  • 1 cup favorite barbecue sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oregano
  • 3 tablespoons cumin
  • 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 3 tablespoons parsley
  • 3 teaspoons ground thyme
  • 3 teaspoons onion powder
  • 6 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 3 teaspoons ground mustard
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from each rack and patting them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all dry rub ingredients. Generously coat both sides of each rib rack with the mixture and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Choose your cooking method: For grilling: Preheat grill to medium heat. Wrap ribs in aluminum foil and cook for about 2 hours. Unwrap and brush on barbecue sauce; grill uncovered for another 30 minutes. For Instant Pot: Place racks in pot with a cup of broth. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes; quick release. Brush on barbecue sauce and broil in the oven for a crispy finish.
  4. Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing between each bone. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
