Dry Rubbed Ribs

Okay, yum! Nothing is better than ribs that are dry rubbed with seasoning and baked until crispy. These ribs taste like you spent hours cooking . . . and you did (spend hours cooking)! But trust me, they are worth it. 

All you need is a couple of pounds of ribs and some seasoning. Seasoning is important, but the secret is how long - and how you cook the ribs. 

Here we go -

Boil the ribs (yes, boil) in a large pot with garlic cloves, black pepper, red pepper flakes and salt. I use about 4-5 cloves and a teaspoon or so off everything else. Ribs should boil AT LEAST an hour - I generally try to boil an hour and a half to two. 

Once boiled, lay flat in a shallow baking pan and rub with a mixture of:

• Garlic Powder (2-3 tablespoons)
• Sea Salt (2 tablespoons)
• Cayenne Pepper (1 tablespoon)
• Chili Powder (1 tablespoon)

Don't be shy - apply the rub liberally and sprinkle any extra over the ribs. Drizzle the ribs with a mixture of olive oil and Tabasco sauce (75/25 mix) and set under the broiler approx. 10 minutes. 

Once brown - flip and broil another ten. 

These ribs are so delicious, so tender, so mouth watering that I guarantee you will think twice about going back to barbeque. 

Enjoy.
