Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef back ribs
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut aminos
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika (for BBQ sauce)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for BBQ sauce)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the dry rub ingredients: smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pat the beef ribs dry with paper towels. Rub the dry spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the Paleo BBQ sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, honey, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Bring the BBQ sauce mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil. Discard any excess fat or liquid.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the ribs generously with the prepared Paleo BBQ sauce.
Grill the ribs for about 5-10 minutes, brushing more sauce on them and turning occasionally until they are caramelized and slightly charred.
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the ribs with additional BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
