Preparation Time20 min

Cooking Time1 hr

Cooking MethodGrilling

Ingredients

  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon southeast Asian fish sauce (such as nuoc nam or nam pla)
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 3 2.5 pound racks lean pork baby back ribs, trimmed of visible fat

Instructions

  1. Combine garlic, honey, mustard, ketchup, soy, Worcestershire, fish sauce and pepper sauce in bowl. Use sharp-pointed knife to loosen tough white, membrane along bone at one end.
     
  2. Use paper towels to grip loosened membrane and pull it off. Or ask your butcher to do this for you. Refrigerate ribs until ready to cook.
     
  3. Prepare charcoal or wood fire. Soak wood chips in water 30 minutes. When coals are ash-covered, drain wood chips and place on square piece of foil directly on coals.
     
  4. When chips begin to smoke, brush rack with oil. Brush ribs with barbecue sauce. Place ribs on rack in single layer, rounded side down. Close barbecue.
     
  5. Cook 45 to 60 minutes, until meat begins to pull away from ends of ribs. Use tongs to turn ribs midway during cooking. Brush with more barbecue sauce at this point, also just before removing from barbecue. Serve hot.
