BIG Barbecued Beef Ribs

Season ribs with salt and pepper and grill over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned all over. Place on a thick sheet of foil on a baking sheet. Thin barbecue sauce with 2 to 3 tbsp. water and pour over ribs. Over-wrap with another sheet of foil and crimp up edges to make a foil pouch. Roast in 250°F (120°C) oven for 2 to 3 hours until meat is fork tender.

Meanwhile sauté garlic and onion in a bit of vegetable oil until softened. Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Reserve approximately 1 cup (250 mL) of sauce for dipping.

Brush ribs all over with the remaining sauce. If desired, grill briefly to set the sauce. Serve ribs with the reserved sauce for dipping.

Time Saver Tip: Use a bottled smokey flavoured barbecue sauce instead of making one from scratch.
