Ruby Tuesdays Memphis Dry Rub Ribs Copycat Recipes

Steps:

• At least a half hour and up to 4 hours before you plan to cook the ribs, peel the membrane off the back of the ribs and trim any excessive fat. Season the ribs liberally on both sides with the Rib Rub. Refrigerate.
• Prepare the grill for cooking over indirect heat at 300 degrees F using apple or cherry wood for flavor. Place the ribs directly on the cooking grate, meaty-side up. Cook for 1 hour. Flip and cook another 30 minutes. Flip again and cook until they are nicely caramelized and golden brown, about another 30 minutes, but may vary depending on your grill. Transfer the ribs to a platter.
• Lay out two big double-layered sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each big enough to wrap a whole slab of the ribs. Transfer the ribs to the foil, meaty-side up. Fold the foil up around the ribs into a packet. Seal the packets snugly, being careful not to puncture the foil with the rib bones. Return to the grill for 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach your desired degree of tenderness. The best way to determine the doneness is to open the foil after 45 minutes and feel the texture of the meat. It should be very tender. Transfer the foil packets to a platter. Raise the temp of the grill to 400 degrees F. Remove the ribs from the foil and return to the cooking grate. Sprinkle lightly with additional Rib Rub #99. Cook for 5 minutes. Flip and sprinkle the other side lightly with the Rib Rub and cook for 5 minutes. Flip one last time and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove the ribs to a platter. Serve 1/2 slab to each guest.
• Combine all ingredients, mix well, and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 300 degrees F.
• Mix the rub ingredients together well in a small bowl.
• Remove the membrane from the bone side of the ribs, then rub the vegetable oil onto the ribs. Pour the rub over the ribs and work the rub fully and evenly into the ribs. Spread the ribs out evenly on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Bake until tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, white sugar, paprika, salt, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder in a bowl.

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Rub 2/3 of the mixture onto front and back of ribs.
• Lightly brush on barbecue sauce.
• Grill.
• Sprinkle remaining Rub onto top of ribs after grilling.

Steps:

• Make the rub: In a large bowl, combine all rub ingredients and mix well.
• Prepare the ribs: Rinse the pork ribs then pat dry and place on a medium sheet pan, fat side up. Coat the ribs all over with the dry rub. Place in the fridge uncovered for at least 7 hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Transfer ribs to rack and cook, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours. Cover with foil and cook for an additional 1 hour. The ribs will be done when they have an internal temperature of 180 degrees and the meat pulls away from the bone.
• Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing into individual ribs. Garnish with crushed peanuts, if desired.

Steps:

• You will need a barbecue mop.
• Make the rub: add the rub ingredients to a bowl; stir to mix.
• Store rub in an airtight container away from heat and light; will keep for 6 months.
• Make the mop sauce-add the vinegar, salt, and rub in a bowl; add 1 cup water; whisk until the salt dissolves; set aside.
• Remove the thin, papery membrane from the back of each rack of ribs.
• Generously season the ribs all over with salt and pepper.
• Set up grill for direct grilling (charcoal is more accurate); preheat to medium.
• When ready to cook, brush the grill grate, place the ribs on the hot grate, bone side down, and grill until that side is sizzling and golden brown, about 35 minutes.
• Turn the ribs and grill meat side down until that side is sizzling and golden brown, about 25 minutes longer.
• When fully cooked, the ribs will be nicely browned and tender enough to pull apart with your fingers.
• The dripping fat may cause flare-ups; if this happens, move the ribs to another spot on the grate.
• Transfer the grilled ribs to a platter or cutting board.
• Generously brush or mop the ribs on both sides with the mop sauce.
• Thickly sprinkle the meat side with the remaining rub to form a crust.
• You can use all or the rub or just a part, depending on your fondness for spice.
• Mr. Raichlen likes a crust about 1/8 inch thick; serve the ribs as whole racks, cut the racks in pieces, or carve them into individual ribs and serve any remaining rub on the side.
