Ingredients
  

  • 2 racks pork ribs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
 

Prepare the ribs

  • Remove the thin membrane from the back of ribs carefully. This helps the rub soak in deeper and makes ribs more tender.

Mix the dry rub

  • Add brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder. Add pepper, cayenne, salt, oregano and cumin and mix completely.

Coat the ribs

  • Rub the spice mix over both sides of ribs. Press gently so spices stick well and flavor enters the meat fully.

Rest the ribs

  • Let the coated ribs rest for thirty minutes. This resting time helps the spices soak in and deepen the final taste.

Preheat cooking method

  • Preheat your oven or grill to medium heat. Make sure temperature is steady because slow and even heat gives tender ribs.

Cook the ribs

  • Place ribs on baking sheet or grill. Cook slowly until tender, turning sometimes so they cook evenly without burning anywhere.

Wrap for tenderness

  • Wrap ribs in foil for the last cooking time. This traps steam and makes meat soft, juicy, and very easy to bite.

Finish and serve

  • Unwrap carefully and cook briefly to firm outside. Remove from heat, rest a little, slice between bones and serve warm proudly.

Notes

  • Remove membrane for tender ribs
  • Do not rush low cooking time
  • Add more cayenne for extra heat
  • Let ribs rest before slicing
  • Use fresh spices for best flavor
