I wanted to share this with you guys, because it is definitely one of the best recipes I have come across and I now count it as one of my staples in the recipe box.
There are 4 steps, it takes an overnight marinade, but it is definitely worth every minute of preparation once you taste the incredibly tender, flavorful ribs. The 1st step is pre-baking the ribs, the 2nd step is the dry rub and overnight marinade, and the 3rd step is the homemade barbeque sauce and the final step is the grilling.
Step 1: Rub the ribs all over with fresh garlic. I use anywhere from 4-6 cloves crushed up. I rub both sides of the ribs and then place in a shallow baking dish. Bake for 2 1/2 hours at 300 degrees. Let cool once completed baking.
Step 2: Once the ribs have cooled off from the oven. Mix together the following ingredients for a dry rub.
1 tbsp white sugar
1 tbsp paprika
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper (ground)
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
Rub the ribs all over with spice mixture and cover and refrigerate overnight.
Step 3: In a small saucepan, mix together the following ingredients and simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered for 1 hour. Reserve a small amount for basting the ribs on the grill. The remainder is used for a dipping sauce.
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp finely chopped onions
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 clove crushed garlic
Step 4: Prepare grill for medium heat. Grill, covered for about 12 minutes, basting with the sauce until nicely browned and glazed.
ENJOY!!
