Salt To Pepper Ratio Recipes

SALT AND PEPPER SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Mix salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Set spice rub aside.
• Stir Dijon mustard and vinegar together in a small bowl.
• Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Turn the ribs over so that the meat side is down. Use the tip of a small, sharp knife to make some very shallow slashes every few inches through the membrane that covers the ribs. Poke the knife 3 or 4 times between each rib bone, about 1/4 inch deep.
• Brush about 1/2 of the Dijon mustard mixture on top. Sprinkle with about 40% of the spice rub. Turn the rack over and brush on the rest of the mustard and vinegar mixture. Sprinkle on the rest of the rub, reserving 1 or 2 teaspoons in case you want to use it to season the cooked ribs later.
• Refrigerate the ribs, uncovered, 4 to 12 hours before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove ribs from the refrigerator.
• Cook in the center of the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and baste with the pan drippings. Continue to cook until very tender and the tip of a knife slides in very easily, about 1 1/2 hours more.
• Remove from the oven, baste again, and let ribs rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

SALT AND PEPPER BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker to 225 degrees F using your preferred heating method. Then add the woodchips.
• Mix the salt and pepper to make the seasoning rub. Apply the rub to the brisket.
• Place the brisket on the smoker. Add more woodchips as necessary to supply smoke throughout cooking. Cook the brisket until it reaches and internal temperature of 170 degrees F, 4 to 5 hours.
• Carefully wrap the brisket in foil or butcher paper and return to the smoker. Continue cooking until the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, 1 to 2 more hours.
• Rest the meat, still wrapped, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Unwrap the brisket and slice the meat against the grain to serve.
