Ribs

2 day before eating, buy some  Louis style Rib from your favorite butcher. Remove ‘silver’ membrane from the underside of the ribs then rub with “rib rub” generously on both sides. Let sit overnight in the refrigerator.  Next day add more rub if you’d like then lay racks of ribs on a rack on a baking sheet  and bake at 325F for 3 hrs.

Finish the ribs over a wood burning BBQ just before serving. Brush with BBQ sauce last minute or serve the sauce on the side and eat the ribs dry.
