How to Make Neelys Bbq Dry Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients.
  2. Stir until thoroughly combined and the mixture is evenly distributed.
  3. Generously rub the mixture onto both sides of your spare ribs (beef or pork).
  4. Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Grill the ribs, foil-wrapped, for approximately 1 hour, flipping halfway through.
  8. Remove the foil and continue grilling for another 15-20 minutes, or until the ribs are tender and the internal temperature reaches 190-200°F (88-93°C). Baste with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last 10 minutes of grilling (optional).
  9. Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
