Ingredients
2 racks pork back ribs, about 1.5 kg each, cut in half
Sauce
1 cup ketchup
1 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp hot sauce
Instructions
TRIM any excess fat off ribs. Arrange ribs, meaty-side up, in a very large, wide pot. Add enough water to cover ribs. Boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, turning ribs occasionally, until meat is fork-tender, 45 to 60 min. Transfer ribs to a platter.
STIR ketchup with vinegar, sugar, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder and hot sauce in a saucepan over medium. Gently boil, stirring often, until sauce starts to thicken, 12 to 15 min.
PREHEAT barbecue to medium-low. Brush ribs with sauce. Oil grill. Barbecue ribs, lid open, turning and basting often with sauce, until ribs are well glazed and heated through, 8 to 10 min. Transfer to a cutting board. Slice into 1-rib portions and serve.
