Information
Recipe for Magic Dust
Magic Dust Pork Ribs
*(Feeds 4-6)*
Ingredients:
-
2 full racks pork ribs (St. Louis cut or baby back)
-
½ cup Magic Dust (recipe below)
-
¼ cup yellow mustard (as a binder)
-
½ cup apple juice (for spritzing)
-
2 tbsp honey or brown sugar (optional glaze)
Magic Dust Recipe (makes ~1.5 cups):
-
¼ cup paprika
-
¼ cup kosher salt
-
¼ cup sugar
-
2 tbsp chili powder
-
2 tbsp ground black pepper
-
1 tbsp garlic powder
-
1 tbsp onion powder
-
2 tsp cayenne (adjust for heat)
-
1 tsp cumin
(Mix all ingredients and store in an airtight jar.)
Instructions:
-
Prep the ribs:
-
Remove membrane from bone-side of ribs.
-
Coat ribs lightly with mustard (helps rub adhere).
-
Generously apply Magic Dust on both sides (about 2 tbsp per rack).
-
-
Smoke (or bake):
-
Smoker method: Cook at 225°F (107°C) for 5-6 hours over indirect heat (hickory or apple wood). Spritz with apple juice every hour after the first 2 hours.
-
Oven method: Bake at 275°F (135°C) for 3-4 hours on a rack over a foil-lined tray with 1 cup water in the bottom.
-
-
Wrap & tenderize (optional):
-
After 3 hours, wrap ribs in foil with honey/brown sugar and a splash of apple juice. Return to heat for 1 hour.
-
-
Finish:
-
Unwrap, return to smoker/oven for 30 mins to firm up bark.
-
-
Rest 15 mins, slice, and serve with extra Magic Dust on the side.
Why It’s Legendary:
-
Magic Dust’s balance of sweet, salty, and smoky flavors creates a perfect crust ("bark").
-
Works on any meat: Try it on pulled pork, chicken wings, or even roasted nuts.
-
No sauce needed (but pairs well with a vinegar-based mop sauce).
Other Top Uses for Magic Dust:
-
BBQ Pulled Pork: Rub on a pork shoulder before smoking.
-
Grilled Chicken: Massage into skin 1 hour before cooking.
-
French Fries: Toss hot fries with a pinch of Magic Dust.
