Ingredients
For the Ribs:

For the Dry Rub:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Homemade BBQ Sauce:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ribs
- Preheat your grill to 300°F (150°C) for indirect cooking.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a butter knife under the membrane and then pulling it off with a paper towel for better grip.
- Season both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Make the Dry Rub
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
- Rub the dry rub generously all over the ribs, covering them evenly.
Step 3: Grill the Ribs
- Place the ribs on the grill over indirect heat.
- Close the lid and cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Step 4: Prepare the BBQ Sauce
- In a saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Glaze the Ribs
- During the last 15 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs generously with the homemade BBQ sauce, turning them occasionally to coat evenly.
- Continue cooking until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the ribs are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Cut the ribs between the bones and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
