Cinnamon, anise, cloves, and Szechuan peppercorns bring Asian-inspired flavor to these tender, slow-grilled St. Louis-style spareribs.
Ingredients
Dry Rub
- ½ cup kosher salt
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground anise seed or fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 racks Smithfield® Extra Tender St. Louis Pork Spareribs, membrane removed
- 1 cup Handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained
- 2 cups hoisin barbecue sauce
Directions
Step 1
About 30 minutes before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine all rub ingredients in a coffee grinder; grind until smooth. Generously coat both sides of ribs with rub. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 275 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
Step 3
Place the ribs, meaty side up, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
Step 4
Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 2 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.
Step 5
Remove ribs from grill and unwrap. Place ribs over direct heat on grill and brush with barbecue sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more sauce.
Step 6
Serve ribs with remaining barbecue sauce.
