Ingredients

  • 2 racks baby back ribs (about 4-5 pounds)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Uncle Dibbz Texas Steak Rub, to taste
  • 4 tbsp butter, cut into squares
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/2 cup tequila

Oven Instructions

  1. Prep the Ribs: Score the membrane on the back of the ribs to help the seasoning penetrate and ensure even cooking. Lightly coat the ribs with olive oil, then generously apply Uncle Dibbz Texas Steak Rub over the oiled ribs.
  2. Set Up for Cooking: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the ribs on an oven rack set over a roasting pan. Pour tequila into the bottom of the pan to create steam.
  3. Cook the Ribs Unwrapped: Bake the ribs, uncovered, for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
  4. Wrap with Butter and Flavorings: Lay out aluminum foil and place 4 squares of butter on each sheet. Drizzle honey, pour soy sauce, squeeze fresh lime juice, and add a splash of tequila over the butter. Lay the ribs top side down onto the butter mixture. Add additional butter and honey on the back side of the ribs. Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil, ensuring the mixture is well enclosed. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and return the wrapped ribs to the oven. Bake for another 30 minutes.
  5. Broil for Finish: After 30 minutes, carefully unwrap the ribs. Pour the melted sauce from the foil over the ribs. Set the oven to broil on high and return the ribs to the oven, uncovered. Broil for about 5 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
  6. Serve: Let the ribs rest for about 10 minutes after broiling. Slice and serve hot, garnished with fresh lime wedges if desired.

Grill/Smoker Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ribs: Score the membrane on the back of each rib rack. Rub with olive oil and generously season with Uncle Dibbz Texas Steak Rub.
  2. Smoke/Grill Setup: Preheat your grill or smoker to 250°F (120°C) with indirect heat. Place a pan of tequila under where the ribs will cook to create steam.
  3. Cook the Ribs: Place the ribs on the grill/smoker, and cook for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender.
  4. Wrap with Flavorings: Prepare foil with butter, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and tequila. Place the ribs meat-side down on the foil, add more butter and honey on the back, and wrap tightly.
  5. Continue Cooking: Return the wrapped ribs to the grill/smoker and cook for another hour.
  6. Finish with a Sear: Unwrap the ribs, baste with the sauce from the foil, and increase the grill to a higher temperature. Finish by searing the ribs directly over the heat for a few minutes on each side to caramelize the glaze.
  7. Serve: Let the ribs rest, then slice and serve with extra glaze or fresh lime wedges.
