Ingredients: 2 racks of baby back ribs. 1/4 cup olive oil. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar. 1/4 cup Dijon mustard. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 2 tablespoons smoked paprika. 2 tablespoons brown sugar. 1 tablespoon garlic powder. 1 tablespoon onion powder. 1 teaspoon black pepper. 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Wood chips for smoking.
Instructions: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup to create the marinade. Combine smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a separate bowl to make the dry rub. Rub the dry mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, then coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Soak wood chips in water for 30 minutes and prepare your grill for indirect heat smoking at 250F 120C. Place the ribs on the grill away from direct heat, add soaked wood chips for smoke, and cover. Smoke for 3-4 hours or until the meat easily pulls away from the bone. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs with additional maple syrup for a sticky glaze. Once done, let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
