Ingredients
- 2 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- Coarse salt
- 2 slabs baby back ribs (about 2 pounds total)
- Vegetable oil, for grates
- Emeril's Rib Sauce
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine mustard powder, paprika, celery salt, onion powder, red-pepper flakes, garlic powder, celery seed, and 1 teaspoon salt. Rub slabs on both sides with the spice mixture, and refrigerate, loosely covered, for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Stack slabs on a double layer of aluminum foil; tightly wrap. Place on a rack on a baking sheet. Cook until meat pulls away from the bone and is easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil grates. Carefully remove ribs from foil, pouring off any liquid. Brush generously on both sides with rib sauce; grill ribs until sauce begins to bubble and brown around the edges, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Serve ribs with any leftover sauce, if desired.

Please try this GREAT easy rib recipe. I just use whatever spices I have on hand, wrap them in foil and bake for exactly 2 hours. I cheat and use a bottled bbq sauce and remove them from the foil and put them back under the broiler for a few minutes. I am a southerner and we eat bbq at least once a week. Great for company too!!!
sputchinski try boiling the ribs for about and hour then bake them for another hour they will come out very tender.
These ribs have become a favorite for my husband and I... Just make sure you cook it for more like 2 hours (or more). For a smaller version we buy country style spare ribs and that only takes about 1 1/2 hours.
Good but not great. We usually really enjoy Emeril's recipes but this one just didn't do it. Maybe the ribs needed to cook longer.
My husband and toddler loved these ribs and sauce. I prepared exactly according to recipe. Next time I will cook a little longer in the oven perhaps 2- 2 1/2 hours. I like the meat to fall off the bone a little more easily. This may be my new regular rib and sauce recipe.
This sounds really yummy. I especially like the tang from the apple cider vinegar. This seems to be a "meeting of minds" between those folks who like their barbecue sauce sweet and those who don't want any sweetness within a mile of their pork ribs.
Easy - This was the first time EVER that I made ribs. Great recipe!
HAVE TRIED EMERIL'S RECIPES BEFORE AND LOVE THEM ALL, THIS WILL BE GREAT FOR JULY 4TH. BBQ
