- Prepare the Ribs:
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Season the ribs generously with salt and black pepper.
- Create the Dry Rub:
- In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.
- Apply the Dry Rub:
- Rub the dry rub mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the ribs sit with the rub for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
- Marinate the Ribs:
- Place the seasoned ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure they are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Ribs:
- Remove the ribs from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the ribs on the preheated grill.
- Grill the ribs for about 30-45 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Baste with BBQ sauce during the last 15 minutes of grilling if you like.
- Make sure to turn and rotate the ribs occasionally for even cooking.
- Check for Doneness:
- Check the internal temperature of the ribs using a meat thermometer. The ribs are done when the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or up to 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- Rest and Serve:
- Allow the grilled beef ribs to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
- Serve:
- Slice the ribs between the bones and serve them hot. Enjoy the delicious grilled flavor!
