Grill-a-holics Anonymous: Pork Short Ribs

After cutting John off, it's finally time to let him get back outside and grill. We found a great deal on ribs at the grocery store, and against our fears, decided to give it a shot.

There's an art to grilling ribs. Not everyone can do it and you freak yourself out by the need for them to turn out perfect, but these turned out pretty delicious.

2 tbs smoked paprika
2 tbs roasted ground cumin
3 tbs chili powder
1 tbs onion powder
1 tbs garlic powder
2 tbs black pepper
1 tbs crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbs coarse salt
1 tbs celery salt
1 tbs crushed oregano
1 tbs cayenne
Pork ribs
1 cup maple syrup
2 tbs fresh, minced garlic
Barbecue sauce

I started by marinating them in syrup and added fresh, minced garlic to them. I let them sit for about an hour.

Then, I removed them from the marinade and scraped the excess off with my fingers.

Mix all the spices together and rub on the ribs. Let sit again. I believe I did another hour.

Then grill, baste with barbecue sauce, grill some more and enjoy!

These came out yummy. I don't know if it'll be my go to rib recipe, but I'll definitely make again.
