Beef Ribs with a Dry Rub

I will say this rib recipe is simply amazing.   Only eight hours in a crock pot, which is plenty of time to attend the OC Throwdown, do a WOD and make fixings for dinner.   When done, the meat literally falls off the bone and the dry rub spice mix packs a punch.   If you are partial to pork ribs, then by all means do the pig and not the cow. 

FYI: You can find  dry rubs sold in grocery stores and you likely will be tempted to use it.  If you are hell bent on buying a dry rub, please read the ingredients list, most dry rubs contain sugar and other non-paleo “stuff.”

The recipe modified from www.cosmopolitanprimalgirl.wordpress.com

Ingredients

4-5 lbs of beef ribs (or pork)

1 large yellow onion

2 tablespoons of coarse salt

1 tablespoon of cumin

1 tablespoon of fresh cracked pepper

1 tablespoon of dried oregano

1 tablespoon of chili powder

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper ( I was way more generous)

Direction

Mix all spices together in a small bowl.  Slice yellow onion and place a layer of onions along the bottom of the crock pot.  Next, generously apply dry rub to all surfaces of the ribs…rub rub rub the rub into the ribs.  After all, that is why it’s called a rub.  Really rub it in.  Place ribs on top of onion layer.   Set crock pot on low and cook for 8-10 hours.
