BBQ Grilled Short Ribs with Dry Rub

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make BBQ Grilled Short Ribs with Dry Rub.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a medium bowl and mix together brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder to create a flavorful dry rub that will elevate your beef short ribs.

2. Step 2

   Next, cut the ribs into equal portions, ensuring they cook evenly.

3. Step 3

   Generously coat each piece with the spice mixture, making sure every surface is well covered for maximum flavor.

4. Step 4

   Once seasoned, place the ribs in a glass baking dish in a single layer, cover them, and let them chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.

5. Step 5

   This step allows the spices to meld beautifully with the meat, enhancing the overall taste.

6. Step 6

   While the ribs are soaking up those delicious flavors, preheat your grill to medium indirect heat, aiming for a cozy temperature of 375 to 400 degrees F (190 to 200 degrees C).

7. Step 7

   Now, take a sturdy 12x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lay one portion of the ribs in the center.

8. Step 8

   For a little extra moisture, toss in two ice cubes before sealing the foil.

9. Step 9

   Bring up the sides and double-fold the top and ends to create a secure packet, leaving some space for heat to circulate.

10. Step 10

    Repeat this for the remaining rib portions, creating a little treasure of flavor in each packet.

11. Step 11

    Once your grill is ready, place the foil packets over the indirect heat.

12. Step 12

    Cover the grill and let the ribs cook for about 1.

13. Step 13

    5 to 2 hours, or until they become tender and irresistible.

14. Step 14

    When the time is up, carefully open the grill and the foil packets.

15. Step 15

    Use a sharp knife to cut along the top folds, releasing the steam and revealing the succulent ribs inside.

16. Step 16

    Now comes the fun part! Brush about half a cup of your favorite barbecue sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are generously coated.

17. Step 17

    Then, move the packets over to direct heat, cover the grill again, and let them sizzle for an additional 5 minutes, turning once to achieve that perfect browned and crispy finish.

18. Step 18

    Finally, it’s time to serve! Plate the ribs and offer extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.

19. Step 19

    Enjoy the mouthwatering flavors and the joy of sharing this delicious dish with family and friends.
