Equipment
  • Small Bowl
Ingredients
  
  • ¼ cup yellow mustard
  • 1 rack ribs, membrane removed
  • 2½ tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons ancho chili powder
  • 2½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2½ teaspoons black pepper, coarse ground
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
Instructions
 
  • Add the spices and brown sugar to a small bowl and stir them to combine. Set it aside.
  • Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane. Then, coat them with a thin layer of yellow mustard on both sides.
  • Sprinkle the reserved spice mixture over the ribs, spreading the rub evenly on both sides.
  • Cover the ribs with plastic wrap and let them rest in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or overnight.
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • Start with fresh spices – this makes all the difference since spices lose their flavor over time, especially ground spices.
  • Leave the mustard rib rub on the ribs for 1-2 hours or overnight.
