“Georgia, Meet Texas….”

November 5, 2009

So the first recipe from The Dean Bros. Cookbook: Recipes From The Road that I had to make and feature were these ribs. This rib recipe is inspired from The Salt Lick, which is a local Austin favorite. The Salt Lick BBQ is SO famous that it has been featured on several Food Network shows as well as The Travel Channel. It is known for its famous BBQ as well as scenic location and being BYOB.
Even after living here in Austin for over 5 years I have yet to eat there (I know, what am I thinking)! It is defiantly on my list of restaurants I MUST try. And the good thing is that with this recipe I get a little glimpse as to the wonderful food that I have heard so much about.
I also wanted to try this rib recipe because I saw Bobby Dean make it on Paula Dean’s show and they talked about how dry rubbed ribs were so good and that if you have never had them you had to. And until I made these ribs I HAD never had dry rub ribs.
I really did enjoy these ribs. Even though they were dry rub they still got my fingers a little messy but not nearly as bad as your typical rib. I will defiantly make these again because they were so easy and tasted so good. And I will DEFIANTLY head to the Salt Lick soon so that I can try their world famous food!
Sorry these pics are SOOO awful! The rub kind of makes them look blackened.
Dry Rub Baby Back Ribs
adapted from The Dean Bros. Cookbook: Recipes From The Road
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
4 pounds baby back ribs, cut into 2-rib portions
In a small bowl, stir together all ingredients except the ribs. Rub spice mixture all over the ribs. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate ribs for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.***
Arrange the ribs on the barbeque and grill for 40 to 45 minutes, turning with tongs occasionally until meat is tender and crisp on the outside.
***I cooked my ribs in the oven on 350 for 30-40 minutes and they came out just fine.
