INGREDIENTS

5 oz Baby back pork ribs

1 tsp Smoked paprika

0.5 tsp Garlic powder

0.5 tsp Onion powder

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Chili powder

2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp Tomato paste

1 tsp Maple syrup

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 cup Green beans

PREPARATION

• 1

  Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure the spices penetrate the meat and improve the texture.

• 2

  In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and chili powder to create a dry rub.

• 3

  Apply the rub generously to both sides of the ribs, pressing the spices into the meat.

• 4

  Place the ribs in a smoker preheated to 225°F and cook for approximately 3 to 4 hours until the meat is tender and starts to pull back from the bone.

• 5

  While the ribs smoke, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan over low heat until the glaze thickens slightly.

• 6

  During the final 30 minutes of smoking, brush the tangy glaze over the ribs to create a caramelized, sticky exterior.

• 7

  Steam the green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

• 8

  Allow the ribs to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the fresh green beans.
