Recipe Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 300°F to 350°F.
- Season the beef ribs generously with salt, pepper, and barbecue rub, if using.
- Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and starting to pull away from the bones, turning occasionally.
- While the ribs are cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Brush the barbecue sauce onto the ribs during the last 15 minutes of cooking, turning the ribs occasionally to ensure they’re evenly coated.
- Once the ribs are done cooking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
