Memphis-Style Pork Ribs
4 to 6 lb. pork ribs
Rub INGREDIENTS:
¼ cup paprika
1 ½ Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ Tbsp. dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp. salt
1 ½ tsp. celery salt
1 ½ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 ½ tsp. dry mustard
1 ½ tsp. garlic powder
1 ½ tsp. ground cumin
Mop Sauce INGREDIENTS:
¼ cup prepared mustard
1 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp. salt
PREPARATION:
To make rub, combine paprika, black pepper, brown sugar, salt, celery salt, cayenne pepper, dry mustard, garlic powder and cumin in a small bowl. Rub two-thirds of the mixture over all surfaces of the ribs. Place ribs in a large pan or baking dish, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Preheat grill for indirect cooking over medium-high heat. To make mop sauce, whisk together mustard, vinegar and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Arrange ribs on grill. Close lid and cook for 1 hour. Baste with the mop sauce. Cook 30 minutes longer, basting frequently. Remainder of rub can be sprinkled on at the end of cooking, if desired.
