Ingredients

1 rack Beef Grilling Back Ribs (about 5 lb/2.2 kg) Salt and fresh ground pepper ½ cup (125 mL) barbecue sauce 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, diced 1 can (14 oz/398 mL) tomato sauce ⅓ cup (75 mL) EACH maple syrup and red wine vinegar ¼ cup (50 mL) tomato paste 2 tbsp (30 mL) minced canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce 2 tbsp (30 mL) Worcestershire sauce

Directions

1. Season ribs with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat in a closed barbecue for 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned all over. Transfer to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. 2. Thin barbecue sauce with 2 to 3 tbsp (30 to 45 mL) water and pour over ribs. Fold foil over or over-wrap with another sheet of foil and seal edges to make a foil pouch. Roast in 250°F oven, or over indirect heat on low (250°F) in a closed barbecue, for 2 to 3 hours until meat is fork tender. 3. Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat in a saucepan. Cook garlic and onion, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in tomato sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, tomato paste, chipotle peppers and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Reserve approximately 2 cups (500 mL) of sauce for dipping. 4. Unwrap ribs and drain off liquid. Brush ribs all over with the remaining sauce. If desired, grill over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until ribs are grill-marked and glazed. Cut between ribs and serve with the reserved sauce for dipping.

Tip

Use bottled smoky-flavoured barbecue sauce instead of making one from scratch for basting and dipping. You’ll need 2 to 3 cups (500 to 750 mL).
