Ingredients:

2 pounds of beef ribs
juice of one lemon
1/4 cup dry rub (your own or my recipe)
1/2 cup barbeque sauce (your own or my recipe)
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 275° F.
Remove excess fat from ribs. Peel the silver skin off the back of the ribs if you can - lift with a sharp knife and grab with a paper towel to remove.
Cut ribs apart into individual pieces.
Rub ribs all over with lemon juice.
Coat ribs with dry rub. Place meat side down in a large baking pan, & cover tightly with foil, shiny side out.
Bake in the oven for 3 1/2 hours.
Remove from oven & pour off liquid.
Brush BBQ sauce over all sides of ribs.
Grill: To finish ribs on the grill, remove from the pan and place ribs on the grill (I use a basket over direct but low heat) basting and turning a few times for about 10 minutes.
Oven: To finish ribs in the oven, set the oven to broil and return ribs to the same oven rack, uncovered, basting and broiling for about 5 minutes per side, watching so they don’t burn.
