Grilled Spare Ribs Recipe
Directions
  • Make the spice rub by mixing together the cumin, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, allspice, salt, and pepper.
  • Trim any large areas of excess fat from the ribs. Don't bother with small bits, they help keep the meat from drying out.
  • Sprinkle the spice mix over the meat and rub in. If time allows, wrap ribs in plastic wrap or put in a covered container and refrigerate for an hour or two.
  • Set up the grill for indirect heat, medium temperature. Grill the meat, rib side down, until the bones protrude slightly from the meat, about 2 hours (may take more or less time, depending on rib thickness and grill temperature).
  • Brush with barbeque sauce when ribs are almost done. Serve with extra barbeque sauce.
Note: Since spare ribs are mostly bone, allow about one pound per person.
