11 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 (2 1/2-lb.) racks beef rib-back ribs (center-cut)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 cup sorghum syrup
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Rinse and pat ribs dry. Remove thin membrane from back of ribs by slicing into it and pulling it off.
  2. 2
    Stir together sugar and next 6 ingredients. Massage sugar mixture into rib meat, covering all sides. Wrap ribs tightly with plastic wrap, and place in zip-top plastic freezer bags; seal and chill 12 hours.
  3. 3
    Bring sorghum and next 2 ingredients to a boil in a 3-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally; reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 7 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half. Cool completely (about 30 minutes).
  4. 4
    Preheat oven to 275°. Place lightly greased wire racks in 2 aluminum foil-lined 15- x 10-inch jelly-roll pans. Remove plastic wrap from ribs, and place ribs on wire racks. Cover with aluminum foil to seal. Bake 2 hours. Remove foil, and bake 3 more hours or until meat begins to pull away from bones, basting with sorghum mixture every 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400°, and bake 10 more minutes or until ribs are browned.
