Ingredients
- 4 ribs beef back ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 whole lemon
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
Step 2
Pat the beef ribs dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Rub this mixture all over the beef ribs, making sure to coat them evenly.
Step 5
Place the fresh rosemary sprigs directly onto the ribs for infusing flavor.
Step 6
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the ribs, then place the squeezed halves with the rosemary.
Step 7
Once the grill is preheated, place the ribs bone-side down on the grill grates.
Step 8
Grill the ribs for about 15 minutes with the lid closed. Turn them over and continue grilling for another 15 minutes.
Step 9
Reduce the heat to medium (about 350°F/175°C) and continue cooking the ribs for an additional 30 minutes, turning them occasionally. Keep the lid closed as much as possible.
Step 10
Check for doneness; the ribs should be tender with a slight char. The internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 11
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Step 12
Slice between the bones to separate individual ribs and serve warm, enjoying them with a crisp salad or grilled vegetables to keep the meal Whole30 compliant.
