How to Make Amazing Beef Ribs

  1. Prepare the Dry Rub: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Season the Ribs: Generously rub the spice mixture onto all sides of the beef ribs. Place ribs in a roasting pan and slow cook in a 250°F oven for 3-4 hours, or until tender.
  3. Make the BBQ Sauce: In a saucepan, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Grill to Perfection: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Baste ribs generously with BBQ sauce. Grill for 10-15 minutes, basting frequently, until the sauce caramelizes and the ribs are nicely charred.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove ribs from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
