INGREDIENTS

5.75 oz Baby back 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

1 tbsp Tomato paste

1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar

1 tsp Maple syrup

0.5 tsp Dijon mustard

1.5 cup Green beans

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) using a clean-burning hardwood like hickory or applewood.

• 2

  Trim any excess silver skin from the back of the ribs and pat the meat dry with a paper towel.

• 3

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

• 4

  Apply the dry rub evenly over all sides of the ribs, pressing the spices into the meat.

• 5

  Place the ribs on the smoker grate and cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bone.

• 6

  In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard until smooth.

• 7

  Brush the tangy glaze generously over the ribs and continue to smoke for an additional 30 minutes to allow the sauce to tack up.

• 8

  While the ribs finish, steam the green beans for 5-7 minutes until they are bright green and fork-tender.

• 9

  Remove the ribs from the smoker, let them rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve alongside the steamed green beans.
