These smoky barbecue ribs are tender, flavorful, and perfect for your next summer cookout.
Mix the smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, black pepper, kosher salt, and brown sugar in a bowl to create the spice rub.
Ensure the spices are evenly mixed for a consistent flavor.
Rub the spice mixture generously over the pork ribs, covering all sides.
Let the ribs sit with the rub for at least an hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
If using a charcoal grill, arrange the coals to one side for indirect cooking.
Sear the ribs over direct heat for about 5 minutes on each side to develop a crust.
Watch closely to avoid burning the ribs during this step.
Move the ribs to indirect heat and cook for 45 minutes, flipping occasionally.
Keep the grill lid closed to maintain consistent heat.
Brush the ribs with tangy barbecue sauce and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Apply the sauce in layers for a sticky, flavorful glaze.
Remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for 5 minutes, then cut into individual pieces and serve.
Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender ribs.
