DESCRIPTION
My easy rib tips recipe gets you tender and flavorful meat that’s juicy and fall-off-the-bone. I show you how to trim them and prep them, and how to cook them perfectly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 and 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. mustard powder
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 2 lbs. of rib tips
- 1/2 of BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Mix up the dry rub by combining the brown sugar, paprika, salt, garlic powder, mustard powder, onion powder, and pepper.
- Season the cut up rib tips with the rib rub. Wrap in aluminum foil and put on pan.
- Bake at 300°F for 1.5 hours.
- Open foil up and bake another 1.5 hours.
- Discard foil and any accumulated liquid. Brush ribs with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce all over. Finish them to get a little char in the oven or the air fryer.
- Under the broiler: Arrange the cooked and sauced rib tips on a broiler pan. Set the pan so that they’re about 6 inches from the broiler elements. Broil until dark spots appear on top, 5-6 minutes. Flip over and continue to cook until dark spots appear on the tops, another 4-5 minutes.
In the Air fryer: Arrange the cooked and sauced rib tips in the air fryer (it’s fine if they’re piled up a bit). Air fry at 400°F for 6 minutes. Open air fryer and move rib tips around. Continue to cook until they have dark spots in many places, about 3-4 more minutes.
