Ribs are undoubtedly one of the most satisfying things to eat off of a grill. There's nothing like biting off the moist and tender meat that seemingly melts right off of the bone. Sweet and tangy, they're the quintessential finger food at a barbecue. However, they can be awfully difficult to get just right, since getting that tender consistency usually requires a long cook time.

However, these ribs only take about an hour to cook and they'll have that signature caramelized crust thanks to this simple yet flavorful rub.

Begin by choosing your ribs. Baby back ribs are usually the preferred rack to choose, but you can use any other sort of rib.

Next flip the rack over and locate the membrane that runs along each rib. Pull this off in order to allow the dry rub and sauce to better penetrate the rib meat.

Using a rub of your choosing, begin by rubbing the seasoning into the meat. This recipe calls for equal parts of cumin, brown sugar and paprika, but you could experiment with different spices.

Once you're done, you'll need to pat the ribs dry.

Once they're dry let them sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes. The longer they sit, the better the flavors get absorbed.

Once you're ready to cook them, place them on the grill, bone side down. 

Brush them with sauce and let them cook for an hour (try not to open the grill until then). In the last thirty minutes though, open the grill cover and be sure to brush some more sauce over the ribs. Aside from extra flavor it helps keep the meat from burning.

Once they're done cooking, cover them with foil for ten minutes prior to serving. 

Then you're ready to enjoy your tasty ribs!
