INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Rub

    • 🧂 ⅓ cup kosher salt
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoons chili powder
    • 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • Main Ingredients

    • 2 racks baby back pork ribs
    • 1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
    • 🍞 4 sesame hamburger rolls, split and toasted
    • 1 cup coleslaw

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

2

Mix salt, brown sugar, chili powder, pepper, cumin, and cayenne together to make the dry rub.

3

Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Season ribs generously on both sides with some of the dry rub. Cover with parchment paper and tightly wrap in foil.

4

Bake ribs in the preheated oven until tender, about 2 hours and 45 minutes.

5

Unwrap ribs and let cool briefly, then remove bones and reassemble meat. Wrap ribs back up and refrigerate until chilled, 8 hours to overnight.

6

Brush ribs generously with barbecue sauce on both sides.

7

Preheat a charcoal grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

8

Grill ribs for 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing with additional barbecue sauce.

9

Spread barbecue sauce on toasted hamburger rolls, sandwich rib portions, and top with coleslaw.
