Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 6 lbs beef ribs ((6-6 1/2 pounds, 2 full racks of ribs or 12-14 ribs))
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil ((extra virgin))
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground mustard
  • 1/2 tsp cumin

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients: brown sugar, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, ground mustard, and cumin.
  • Coat full racks of beef ribs with olive oil, then rub the dry rub mixture over all surfaces of the beef ribs. Cover with plastic wrap (cling film) and refrigerate for at least an hour, but preferably over night.
  • Remove ribs from the refrigerator, remove plastic wrap and place directly onto your smoker racks. Add mesquite chips (or your favorite smoker wood chips) and start your smoker to reach a temperature of 225 degrees F (107 degrees C).
  • Place ribs in the smoker and smoke at 225 degrees F (107 degrees C) for 3 hours. Remove smoked ribs. Transfer either the full rib racks or sliced ribs to your barbecue and grill over a low flame for 10-15 minutes. Rotate ribs during grilling for even cooking.
  • Coat ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce in the last few minutes of grilling. Serve immediately.
