Directions:To make ribs:
1. First make BBQ sauce.
2. Preheat the oven to 350º. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil.
3. Place the ribs on the pan meat-side up and sprinkle with 2 t. salt and 1 t. pepper. Pour the BBQ sauce generously on each rack and cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 1/2hours for baby backs and 1 3/4 hours for St. Louis ribs, until the meat is very tender when tested with a fork. As soon as the ribs are out of the oven, spread them generously with additional BBQ sauce. Grill right away or refrigerate to grill later.
4. When ready to grill, heat grill to medium-high heat. Brush grates with oil to prevent the ribs from sticking. Place the ribs on the grill ribs side down; close the lid (make sure vents are open); grill for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs to meat-side down, close lid and grill for another 4-5 minutes until nicely browned. Place on cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into rib sections as desired and serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
To make BBQ sauce:
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the onions and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin and pepper flakes.
2. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Use immediately or pour into a seal tight container and refrigerate for several weeks. (Makes 1 1/2 quarts) |
