Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. This will be your dry rub.
- Generously season the beef back ribs with the dry rub. Make sure all sides are coated.
- Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and cook for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone. Flip the ribs every 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- During the last hour of grilling, start basting the ribs with barbecue sauce every 15 minutes. This will create a sticky, caramelized exterior.
- Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the beef back ribs with additional barbecue sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
Tips
- For a smokier flavor, consider adding a handful of soaked wood chips to your grill.
- You can also bake these ribs in the oven at 275°F (135°C) for about 4 hours if a grill is not available.
