Grilled Ribs (ribs on the grill)

Step 1

Combine Marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.

Step 2

Pat ribs dry with clean paper towel. Place ribs, meat side down, on a baking sheet. Using a small knife, gently lift off the corner of the membrane (the layer of thin connective tissue) and gently pull to remove. Place in 9×13 pan and pour marinade over top – rub marinade all over ensuring it covers every nook and cranny. Cover and let marinate 30-60 minutes.

Step 3

Ensure grill grates are clean and well-greased. Preheat grill temperature to 500 degrees F.

Step 4

In a small bowl combine the kosher salt, smoked paprika, lemon pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), smoked garlic powder, onion powder and ground black pepper.

Step 5

Remove ribs from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Place on a baking sheet and cover ribs in the dry rub ensuring every nook and cranny is covered.

Step 6

Place both ribs meat-side down over the middle burner. Drop heat down to 300 degrees F. (I usually turn off the middle burner and leave the outer two on and as low as they can go). Let ribs cook for 30 minutes then flip.

Step 7

Continue cooking until the internal temp reaches between 190-203 degrees F. (190 degrees F. will be more firm, while 203 degrees F. the meat will fall off the bone easier).

Step 8

When ribs are approx. 5 degrees away from being done, brush the tops with a generous amount of your favorite bbq sauce and close the lid until they are done cooking.

Step 9

Remove from grill and place on a baking sheet. Cover with foil and let sit 30-60 minutes.

Step 10

Uncover the foil and serve!
