Grilled BBQ Short Ribs with Dry Rub

Tender and flavorful beef short ribs rubbed with a delicious spice blend and grilled to perfection.

Ingredients

  • brown sugar (1 tablespoon)
  • paprika (1 tablespoon)
  • chili powder (1 tablespoon)
  • salt (1 teaspoon)
  • garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • beef short ribs (4 pounds)
  • aluminum foil (1 )
  • barbecue sauce (0.5 cup)

Instructions

  1. Mix brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl.
  2. Cut ribs into equal portions. Generously rub spice mixture onto all surfaces of ribs; place ribs in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Preheat grill to medium indirect heat, 375 to 400 degrees F (190 to 200 degrees C).
  4. Center one portion ribs on a 12x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil; add 2 ice cubes. Bring up the foil sides, then double-fold the top and ends to seal the packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make 3 more packets.
  5. Arrange packets over indirect heat on the preheated grill. Cover and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  6. Uncover the grill. Carefully open the packets allowing steam to escape; then proceed to open packets fully.
  7. Brush ribs with about 1/2 cup barbecue sauce.
  8. Move packets over direct heat, cover, and continue grilling, turning once, until ribs are browned and crisp, about 5 minutes more.
  9. Serve with additional barbecue sauce as desired.
