Cayenne Rubbed Pork Ribs [Photos]
A while back, I wrote about this great rub I found on FoodNetwork.com. It was for London broil, but I’ve used it on a lot of different cuts of beef since then. I used it on a tri-tip roast recently and before that was a t-bone steak. I marinate the meat for an hour before throwing it under my broiler and it comes out so moist, juicy and spicy. It’s such a simple wet rub that I find myself making it with everything now:
A beautiful spicy and sweet rub
Today, I decided to use a modified version of the rub on some pork ribs. Instead of paprika, I used a liberal amount of cayenne pepper. After an hour, I heated up my outdoor electric grill and started cooking the meat. The air started to smell like cayenne and I sneezed a few times.

I kept the cover on most of the time to trap in the moisture and spice. There was a fan nearby for whenever I lifted the cover (away from me) to make sure I didn’t blow any smoke or steam inside my apartment.
Here are my ribs flipped with pseudo grill marks.
I made a huge pot of jasmine rice to go with the ribs and I’m trying very hard right now to keep myself from having more than I’ve already devoured; they came out so delicious!
Poor Penny gets none of these delicious, spicy ribs.
The grill I have is a George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor grill. It’s basically a giant, round George Foreman grill. I know I’m not really “grilling” because I’m cooking with electricity, but I love this little thing. It’s great for apartments—instead of my entire apartment potentially getting smokey and setting off the alarms, any smoke produced is carried off in the breeze. The grill is around $70 and available at Walmart and Amazon: George Foreman GGR200RDDS Round Indoor/Outdoor Electric Grill
