Memphis Dry-Rub Ribs

Step 1

Make the rub: In a large bowl, combine all rub ingredients and mix well.

Step 2

Prepare the ribs: Rinse the pork ribs then pat dry and place on a medium sheet pan, fat side up. Coat the ribs all over with the dry rub. Place in the fridge uncovered for at least 7 hours or overnight.

Step 3

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Transfer ribs to rack and cook, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours. Cover with foil and cook for an additional 1 hour. The ribs will be done when they have an internal temperature of 180 degrees and the meat pulls away from the bone.

Step 4

Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing into individual ribs. Garnish with crushed peanuts, if desired.
