How to Make Smoked Baby Back Ribs:
- Pat ribs with paper towels until dry. Pierce all over with a fork.
- Mix olive oil and and Worcestershire sauce together and rub over meaty sides of ribs.
- Sprinkle about 2/3 of garlic dry rub over both sides of ribs.
- Get your smoker ready and preheated to 250 degrees.
- Place ribs meat side up on the grill and cook for 2 hours.
- Sprinkle remainder of rub over ribs just before you remove them from the grill.
- Remove ribs from grill and allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Internal Temperature for Tender Baby Back Ribs:
Pork is cooked through at 145 degrees but if you want the most tender ribs, I recommend cooking them to about 180- 190 degrees.
Can you make Baby Back Ribs in the Oven?
Baby Back Ribs can be made in the oven. You will miss out on the smoky flavor but it can be done. Wrap ribs tightly in foil and bake at 325 degrees for 2 about hours.
Garlic and Herb Dry Rub For Ribs:
Dry rubs are the classic way to season ribs. Our garlic and herb rub is a simple rub with herbs and spices you are likely to have in your pantry.
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Mix well and keep in an airtight container. This is enough for 2 racks of ribs and can be doubled as needed. Can be made ahead and stored up to 3 months.
A dry rub can provide all of the flavor your ribs will need when they are smoked. However, if you are looking for a great barbecue sauce to add to your ribs, we have some delicious barbecue sauce recipes.
