Costillas a la parrilla perfectas

Ingredientes

• 1 rack pork ribs baby backs, spareribs, or St.Louis-style ribs
• 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup barbecue sauce

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the grill on low heat for 10 minutes to reach a temperature between 250-275 degrees Fahrenheit, preparing it for slow cooking the ribs.

2. 2

   Remove the membrane (optional): Slide your fingers under the membrane on the back of the ribs to loosen and remove it completely using a paper towel for better grip if needed, which helps the seasoning penetrate better.

3. 3

   Apply mustard binder: Slather the ribs thoroughly with whole grain mustard; this acts as a binder to help the dry rub stick to the meat.

4. 4

   Prepare and apply dry rub: In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Generously rub this mixture over the entire surface of the ribs to coat evenly.

5. 5

   Wrap ribs in foil: Lay a large sheet of aluminum foil double the length of the ribs on a flat surface. Place the ribs bone side down in the center, then fold the ends and edges tightly to create a sealed packet. Repeat for a double layer of foil for better heat retention.

6. 6

   Cook ribs on the grill: Place the foil packet carefully on the grill without piercing it. Cook on low heat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, allowing the ribs to become tender.

7. 7

   Unwrap and sauce ribs: Remove ribs from the grill, carefully open the foil, and brush the ribs evenly with barbecue sauce.

8. 8

   Caramelize the barbecue sauce: Increase the grill heat to high and place the ribs back on the grill for 3-5 minutes until the barbecue sauce bubbles and caramelizes, enhancing flavor and texture.

9. 9

   Rest and serve: Remove the ribs from the grill, let cool slightly, slice into individual ribs, and serve.
