Baby back ribs cooking on gas grill.

Grilled Baby Back Ribs (4-5 servings)

Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Take out your baby back ribs and remove the parts of the meat you don’t want from it. Next, add a generous amount of mustard to the meat and season with the rub. Ensure that this gets to all sides of the rib.
  2. Let the meat set. Prep your grill and let it get to a 250° in temperature with one side on high and the other turned low. Place a pan of water on the part where the grill is turned on high so the meat doesn’t dry out fast.
  3. Add the ribs to the grill.
  4. In a bottle, pour in half water and half apple cider vinegar for your spritz. This gives moisture to the meat when cooking. You can use just water for this too, but the apple cider adds some more flavor. For the first three hours of your cooking, spray the mixture on the meat and flip it 180° every 45 minutes.
  5. After three hours, take out some sheets of foil. In the foil, add the brown sugar, butter and maple syrup to the foil before you placing your meat. Wrap everything up tightly, you can double wrap it if the bones are poking the foil.
  6. Take the wrapped up meat back to the grill and cook for another 2 hours. After two hours, take the ribs out of the foil and back to the grill. Add your BBQ sauce to the meat and spread all over with a brush. Leave the ribs on the grill for another 45 minutes.
  7. After 45 minutes, you’ll see the meat coming right off the bone which indicates that its ready to take down.
  8. You can pull the bones off because the meat will be very tender, or you can cut it into serving sizes for the people you want to feed.
