Ingredients

  • 1 – 2 racks of beef ribs, sliced into individual ribs
  • SWEET AND SPICY BBQ RUB:
    • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoons paprika
    • 2 tablespoons granulated garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
    • 2 teaspoons black pepper
    • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon granulated onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon ginger
    • ¼ – ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • QUICK BBQ SAUCE:
    • 1 cup ketchup
    • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
    • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
    • ¼ cup Sweet Spicy BBQ Rub
    • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
    • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Step-by-step Directions

1. Make the Rub

In a small bowl, combine all the BBQ rub ingredients. Mix thoroughly using a fork to break up any lumps, ensuring a uniform blend.

2. Coat the Ribs

Use about ½ cup of the BBQ rub to generously coat a rack of ribs, or double the amount if preparing two racks. Arrange the coated ribs in the slow cooker, set to low, and cook for approximately 5 hours or until tender.

3. Make the Sauce

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, mix together all the sauce ingredients. Bring to a slight bubble, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Prepare the Ribs

Remove the ribs from the slow cooker. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet, brush generously with the BBQ sauce, and broil or grill until caramelized.

Servings & Preparation Time

Serves: 4-6 persons
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: Approximately 5 hours
Additional Time (broiling/grilling): 10 minutes

Tips for Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigerate leftover ribs in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze the ribs for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat refrigerated ribs in a covered oven-safe dish at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
  • If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
