Rib Prep with Derby Dust 

​The Application: Coat the ribs lightly with a binder—either a thin layer of yellow mustard or a drizzle of olive oil—to give the dust something to grip. 

​The Dusting: Generously coat the racks with Derby Dust. Since it already contains the balanced salt, heat, and herb profile you need, you don't have to worry about mixing separate spices. 

​The Rest: Let the dusted ribs sit for at least 30 minutes until the rub looks "wet." This ensures the flavors have fused with the proteins before they hit the heat. 

​Pro-Tip for the Finish 

​If you want to lean into the "Derby" theme, you can finish the ribs with a quick Bourbon-Honey Spritz during the final hour of cooking. It will react with the herbs in the Derby Dust to create a really unique, aromatic crust. 

 

Hope you enjoy your Derby Dust and my recipe for it. Your guests will be talking about this for a long time.  

 

Be blessed,
