Yield: Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
- For basting sauce:
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1/4 cup cola
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Rib rub:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Spike seasoning
- 3 pounds beef ribs
Preparation:
To prepare sauce: combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Let mixture come to a boil and then reduce and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons water. Remove sauce from heat and set aside.
To prepare ribs: take thawed ribs out of packaging and place in large pot with water. Par-boil the ribs for 5 minutes and remove them onto a baking sheet. You might need to do the ribs in batches since they can be so large. After ribs are par-boiled, apply rib rub to each side of ribs.
Preheat grill. Place beef ribs on grill and cook over medium-low heat. Turn and baste ribs every 15 minutes, until finished cooking, about an 1 1/2 hours. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Spike Seasonings is a specific brand of Seasoned Salt.
