Things You'll Need:
- 2.5 lb. slab of baby back ribs
- Dry meat rub
- 4 or 5 qt. slow cooker
- Barbecue sauce
- Broiler
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
-
Step 1
Coat the surface area of the ribs with a dry meat rub of your choice. Ensure that all of the meat is covered, and then roll the ribs up and put them into the slow cooker.
-
Step 2
Put the lid on the slow cooker, and set the heat to low. Allow the ribs to cook, undisturbed, for 9 to 10 hours.
-
Step 3
Remove the ribs from the slow cooker. Lift them out slowly and gently, as the meat should be falling off the bone.
-
Step 4
Brush the meaty side of the ribs with a barbecue sauce of your choice. Choose a flavor that complements the flavor of the meat rub for best results.
-
Step 5
Lay the ribs across a broiler rack, meat side up. Set the broiler to high, and allow the ribs to cook for 7 to 8 minutes. If a broiler is not available, the ribs can be seared, meat side up, on a gas grill set to high heat for 7 to 8 minutes.
-
Step 6
Remove the ribs from the broiler or grill, and place them on a cutting board. Carve the ribs with a sharp knife, and serve immediately.
