Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the 2 pounds pork rib tips dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Rub the spice mixture all over the rib tips, pressing gently to adhere. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush the grates clean and oil them lightly.

  4. Step 4

    Brush the rib tips with 2 tbsp olive oil on all sides. Place them on the grill, bone-side down, in a single layer.

  5. Step 5

    Grill for 10-12 minutes per side, turning once, until charred and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145°F).

  6. Step 6

    Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The meat should be juicy and slightly crispy at the edges.
