It is a winning combo to make the most AMAZING ribs. Thanks for this one, DAD!
Why Use a Dry Rub on Meat?
The purpose of a dry rub is to create a crust; it enhances the flavor without adding moisture. It's a good idea to use on ribs or meat that doesn't tenderize easily.
It's a great way to keep the natural flavor of meat and add extra flavor to make it extra tasty. The purpose is to both enhance the natural flavor of the meat and to introduce other, complementary flavors.
It also makes a low-cost cut of meat taste like a million bucks with a few simple ingredients!
Pro Tip for Preparing Ribs
It is essential to remove the tough membrane from the back of the rack of ribs.
This membrane will keep the smoke and seasonings from infusing the ribs. It would also toughen even more during cooking, resulting in ribs that are very difficult to eat.
Use a blunt knife (such as a butter knife) or even a clean screwdriver to gently lift the membrane from the bone at one corner. Then use a paper towel to get a good grip and peel the membrane off.
