The local grocery store had a really good sale on ham, brisket, and ribs two weeks ago and I couldn’t resist buying 4 pounds for $8.00. I couldn’t find a recipe that I liked searching through my cookbooks, magazines, and around the web so I scanned my spice cabinet and pulled a few spices to use for my dry rub.
Dry Rub
2 Tbsp Red (Cayenne) Pepper
2 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp basil
1 Tbsp garlic powder
Ribs
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Spread rub on both sides of the ribs then place foil covered pan in heated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove pan from oven and spread your choice of BBQ sauce on both sides of ribs and place covered pan back in oven for 30 minutes.
When it came time to add the BBQ sauce I combined the original Rudy’s sauce with a shot of maker’s mark. We usually have BBQ sauce in the fridge so the next time I make this I plan on trying something different. Next time we have pot roast I want to try using the dry rub and some beef broth and cooking it in the crockpot.
Our dinner last weekend ended up being ribs, oven baked fries, and broccoli with cheese sauce. After the last couple of months eating out and cooking the same couple of recipes I think I’ve finally found some variety for our meals.
