Method
step 1
In a small glass bowl or resealable glass jar mix all the marinade ingredients well.step 2
Let sit to allow the flavors to blend while you prepare the ribs in step 2step 3
With the back of a teaspoon begin lifting the membrane on the back of the ribs near a bone.step 4
When you get enough of the membrane (also called 'silverskin') pryed up from the back of the ribs grasp it with a paper towel and peel it off the ribs.step 5
This membrane should always be removed, if it's left on it can cause the ribs to curl when they're cooking and they'll also be a bit tougher to chew when left on.step 6
Cut the two rib racks in half so you've 4 pieces.step 7
Place the ribs meat side up (bone side down) in a glass dish.step 8
Evenly distribute the marinade over the top of the ribs and rub to completely cover all the pieces.step 9
Pierce the meat with a fork all over after you've spread on the marinade - this will help the flavor penetrate the meat.step 10
Cover the ribs and refrigerate overnight.step 11
Oil the grates of the BBQ and preheat to 400F - 450F.step 12
When the grill is ready place the ribs meat side down (bone side up) and close the lid.step 13
Let the ribs brown up and give them the charred grill marks - usually about 7 or 8 minutes should do.step 14
Flip the ribs over (bone side down) and close the lid.step 15
Reduce the temperature to 350F.step 16
Let the ribs cook for 30 - 40 minutes and check on them.step 17
The meat should be shrinking back from the bone 1/4" or so.step 18
Keep checking on the ribs, you don't want them overcooked or they'll dry out.step 19
Depending on the size of ribs you're using really determines how long to cook them. The bigger and meatier they are the longer they'll take.step 20
Remove the bbq pork ribs from the grill and place on a cutting board.step 21
Cut the ribs into individual pieces between the bones.step 22
Its easier if you do this bone side up so you can see where to cut.step 23
Serve this as is or with the bbq pork ribs dipping sauce described above.
