Ingredients
Dry Rub:
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons black pepper finely ground
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon celery powder
Pork Ribs
- 1 rack pork baby back ribs about 2 pounds
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard more if needed, or stone ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil more if needed, for basting
Instructions
- Add all the dry rub ingredients together. Use a fork and mix to combine.
- Remove the silver skin (tough membrane) from the back of the ribs and pat them dry. Cover the ribs in a thin layer of Dijon mustard then sprinkle the rub generously over both sides of the ribs.
- Place ribs on a clean baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rest in the fridge for 3 hours, or overnight for maxium flavor. Let the meat come to room teprature for about 30 minutes before smoking and baking.
- Prepare your smoker* and add the ribs. Smoke the ribs for about 2 1/2 hours at 225 degrees F and baste every 30 minutes with a brushing of oil.
- Then, wrap ribs tightly in tinfoil and continue baking at 225 degrees F in the oven, covered, for 1 1/2 hours to tenderize. Remove the foil and increase the oven temp to 400°F (200°C). Let the ribs roast for another 10-15 minutes until they develop a nice crust.Add a light coat of your favorite BBQ sauce (if desired) and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- This is a very versatile seasoning blend that tastes great on so many things. Try it on: chicken, fish, pork chops, pork shoulders, lamb chops, beef roasts, burgers, and even veggies. You can make this rub in bulk and store it with your other spices to have on hand whenever you want!
- * How to make these ribs without a smoker:
- Slow-Roast in the Oven:
- Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours: Check for tenderness by poking the meat with a fork—it should be soft but not falling apart.
- Caramelize & Crisp the Outside: Remove the foil and increase the oven temp to 400°F (200°C). Let the ribs roast for another 10-15 minutes until they develop a nice crust.
- Rest & Serve: Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve as is or with a drizzle of barbecue sauce if desired.

Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil and a wire rack (or directly on the foil). Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or juice to the foil for moisture. Cover the ribs tightly with foil to trap in moisture.
