Ingredients
2 slabs St. Louis style ribs (5 to 6 pounds each)
1 1/2 cups Dijon mustard
1 cup Miss Brown’s Rib Rub, recipe follows
1 cup apple juice
Barbecue sauce, optional
Miss Brown's Rib Rub:
1/3 cup garlic powder
1/3 cup onion powder
1/3 cup smoked paprika
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons celery seeds
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Directions
Special equipment:
a spray bottle- Prepare a grill for indirect cooking (with one side lit and the other side unlit) and heat to between 230 and 235 degrees F.
- Brush the ribs on both sides with the Dijon mustard. Rub both sides with Miss Brown’s Rib Rub.
- Place the ribs on the unlit side of the grill. Close the lid and cook until beginning to brown, about 45 minutes. Uncover and spritz with the apple juice in a spray bottle. Close the lid and cook for 3 more hours. Wrap the ribs tightly with aluminum foil and cook until the ribs begin to become tender, 1 more hour.
- Unwrap the ribs and cook until very tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour longer. (Brush on sauce if you’d like during last hour of cooking.) Remove the ribs from the grill. Let stand for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
Miss Brown's Rib Rub:
- Stir together the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, brown sugar, curry powder, salt, pepper, celery seeds, chili powder and cumin in a medium bowl. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
