I have been promising recipes for ya, so here's the first one. Last week beef back ribs were on sale so of course I scooped some up in a sale frenzy and when I got home I realized that I had NO idea how to fix them. After a quick email to my very-talented-food-guru brother-in-law for some help.... he sent me this yummy recipe:
Dry rub:
2 tablespoons of each of the following ingredients: salt, sugar, brown sugar, ground cumin, chili powder, ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 cup paprika.
Mix all ingredients together, rub over ribs (I just sprinkled it in a Ziploc bag and mushed it over the meat cause I don't like touchin' the stuff - worked pretty well). Let sit for at least 4 hours, best if overnight in zip top bag in fridge. Place on rack in roasting pan, place a bit of water in the bottom of pan (make sure it doesn't get dry) cover with aluminum foil. Place in 250 degree oven for at least 3 hours, until meat shrinks back significantly from bone. Should almost fall off the bone, but not quite. About 15 minutes before you think they are done, remove foil and baste with your favorite BBQ sauce. We love to serve this with a bunch of fresh green beans that have been sauteed in about a stick of butter.
NOTE: This was really tasty, but my kiddies weren't too thrilled - it had a bit of a kick to it, so next time I may cut back on the chili and cayenne pepper.
