Instructions:
- Get the Smoker Ready:
Preheat your smoker to a toasty 250°F. This low and slow method is the secret to tender and juicy ribs!
- Prepare the Ribs:
Take your rack of St. Louis Style Ribs and either remove or score the membrane on the ribs side. This ensures that all those amazing flavors can seep in.
- Oil it Up:
Slather the ribs in a generous amount of olive oil. This not only adds a fantastic flavor but also helps those dry rub ingredients stick.
- Seasoning Time:
Liberally cover the ribs on all sides with a magical mix of kosher salt, ground pepper, garlic powder, Accent/MSG, smoked paprika, and oregano. Let those flavors mingle!
- Into the Smoker:
Place your seasoned ribs on the preheated smoker set at 250°F. Now, let the magic begin!
- Spritz Away:
Every 45 minutes, give your ribs some love by spritzing them with a mixture of apple cider and water. This adds an extra layer of moisture and flavor.
- Perfect Temperature:
Keep an eye on the internal temperature. Once it hits a tantalizing 198°F, it’s time to take those ribs off the heat. Perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor!
- Rest and Enjoy:
Allow your ribs to rest for 5-10 minutes. This step is crucial for locking in all those juices. Then, dive in and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
This St. Louis Style Ribs recipe is a surefire way to impress your friends and family at your next BBQ gathering. Give it a try, and get ready for a flavor explosion! Happy grilling!
