Grilled Spare Ribs Recipe (+)

Directions

Make the spice rub: mix together cumin, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, allspice, salt, and pepper.
Trim any large areas of excess fat from the ribs. Don't bother with small bits, they help keep the meat from drying out. Sprinkle the spice mix over the meat and rub in. If time allows, wrap ribs in plastic wrap or put in a covered container and refrigerate for an hour or two.
Set up the grill for indirect heat, medium temperature. Grill the meat, rib side down, until the bones protrude slightly from the meat, about 2 hours (may take more or less time, depending on rib thickness and grill temperature). Brush with barbeque sauce when ribs are almost done. Serve with extra barbeque sauce.
Note: Since spare ribs are mostly bone, allow about one pound per person.

"My family liked these. I wish I could get my gas grill to go a little lower and slower."
