Memphis Style Dry Rub Oven Ribs

Ingredients

• 2 slabs St. Louis Style Pork Ribs
• 0.25 cup Yellow Mustard
• 0.5 cup Sweet Paprika
• 0.25 cup Dark Brown Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Kosher Salt
• 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion Powder
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Dry Mustard Powder
• 0.25 cup Apple Cider Vinegar(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

2. 2

   Remove the thin silver skin membrane from the back of the ribs by loosening it with a knife and pulling it off with a paper towel.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard, and cayenne.

4. 4

   Brush a thin layer of yellow mustard over both sides of the ribs to act as a binder for the spices.

5. 5

   Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it firmly into the meat.

6. 6

   Place the ribs bone-side down on the prepared pan, cover tightly with another layer of foil, and bake for 2.5 hours.

7. 7

   Remove the top foil, lightly spritz with apple cider vinegar if desired, and bake uncovered for another 30-45 minutes until the meat is tender but not falling off the bone.

8. 8

   Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing between the bones to serve.
