Ingredients
For the Dry Rub:
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ tablespoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard seed
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
For the Ribs:
- 1 full rack "St.Louis-style" cut pork spareribs 4 to 6 pounds
For the Memphis-style "Mop"
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ tablespoon reserved dry rub
- ¼ teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Place oven rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 325°.
- Make the dry rub and coat the ribs. In a small bowl, whisk together all dry rub ingredients until thoroughly combined. Set aside a ½ tablespoon of dry rub for the mop. Sprinkle remaining dry rub all over both sides of the rack of ribs coating all surfaces.
- Bake the ribs. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on to the foil-lined baking sheet. Position the rack of ribs bone side down above the wire rack (the concave should be facing down). Bake in center of 325° preheated oven for 2 ½ hours.
- Make the mop and brush onto ribs. While the ribs are in the oven, make the mop. In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, reserved dry rub and liquid smoke (if using). Once the ribs have baked for 2 ½ hours, remove them from the oven and brush with mop. Cover the ribs with foil to prevent them from drying out and return to oven for an additional 30 minutes.
- Slice and serve. Let ribs rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately.
