Curtis and Andrea’s baby back ribs  

Use meat from grass fed cows!

Use the amount of ribs that will fit in your pan!

Rub (I did all these x 6):

¼ tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp ground cumin

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp. salt

25 grinds fresh black pepper

3 TBSP vegetable oil – optional

Pour cup water and 1/8 cup liquid smoke into bottom of pan

Finish on grill 15 min., with BBQ sauce to flavor - Susan Fonger
