Chef John's salt and pepper ribs: a simple, flavorful way to make tender, tasty ribs.
Ingredients:
  • 4 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 rack St. Louis-style pork spare ribs
Instructions:
  • Combine salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder in a small bowl to create a flavorful spice rub. Set aside for later use.
  • Combine vinegar and Dijon mustard in a small bowl, stirring until mixed.
  • Place the ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet with the meat side facing down. Use a small, sharp knife to make shallow slashes every few inches through the membrane covering the ribs, about 1/4 inch deep, between each rib bone 3 or 4 times.
  • - Brush half of the Dijon mustard mixture on top. Sprinkle 40% of the spice rub over the ribs. Flip the rack and brush on the remaining mustard and vinegar mixture. Finish by sprinkling the rest of the rub, saving 1 or 2 teaspoons for seasoning after cooking.
  • Chill the ribs, uncovered, in the fridge for 4 to 12 hours prior to baking.
  • Preheat your oven to a cozy 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and take those flavorful ribs out of the fridge.
  • Roast in the center of the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove and brush with the flavorful pan drippings. Return to the oven and cook until fork-tender, approximately 1 1/2 hours longer.
  • After taking the ribs out of the oven, brush them with another layer of sauce, and allow them to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
