Instructions
- The night before – prepare ribs by washing thoroughly and patting dry with a paper towel.
- Remove any tough membrane that may be on the back of the rack, (note: most rib racks have already had this removed).

- Remove ribs from oven, remove foil and allow to cool for 1 hour, minimum. Ribs can be refrigerated for several days before grilling or frozen for up to 6 months.
- Finishing the ribs – to finish the ribs, after they have cooled, carefully place each rack on a medium hot BBQ grill, bone side down, close lid and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, flip rack over and grill, on the meaty side.
- Allow meat to cook for additional 2-3 minutes.
- Flip rack back over and mop with BBQ sauce, allowing to cook for 2-3 minutes again repeat for other side.
- BBQ sauce should caramelize on the meat as it cooks.
- When meat is hot remove ribs and serve.
- Serve extra sauce at the table.
