  If your butcher has not already done so, remove the thin silverskin from the bone-side of the ribs by working the tip of a butter knife or screwdriver underneath the membrane over a middle bone. Use paper towels to get a firm grip, then pull the membrane off.

  Sprinkle the rub over both sides of the ribs. You will need about 1-1/2 tablespoons of rub for each side.
