Memphis Pork Ribs (Steven Raichlen) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Rub
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons celery salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Mopping Sauce
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Ribs
5 lbs pork ribs (2 racks)

Preparation

Set up your grill for indirect heating at 350 degrees F; place a drip pan in the middle of your coals.
Remove the silver skin from the ribs with your hands.
Combine all the rub ingredients and rub 2/3 of it on both sides of ribs.
Place ribs on the grill and close the cover.
Combine all the ingredients for the mopping sauce.
After 30 minutes of cooking, mop the ribs with the sauce; repeat mopping every 20 minutes thereafter.
Continue to cook the ribs until they are tender and the meat has shrunk a bit from the bones, about 1 1/2 hours.
Remove ribs from the grill, once they are done, and place on a cutting board; mop ribs one last time and sprinkle with remaining dry rub.
Cut into serving size pieces as desired.
