Barbecued Ribs

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of salt 1/4 cup of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons of fresh ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of chili powder
• 4 tablespoons of paprika
• 10 to 12 beef ribs

Basting Sauce:

• 1 3/4 cups of white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of hot pepper sauce
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of fresh ground black pepper

Method:

1. In a bowl, combine salt, sugar, cumin, pepper, chili powder and paprika to make barbeque rub.
2. Rub ribs thoroughly with this mixture. Place ribs on baking sheets and cook in 180 degree oven for 3 hours.
3. Do not turn as slow cooking infuses the spices.
4. Remove from oven. (The ribs may now be covered and refrigerated up to 2 days before grilling)
5. Use very low charcoal fire with rack set as high as possible. Grill ribs 5 minutes to 30 minutes per side, depending on heat and temperature of ribs.
6. Ribs should have light outer crust and be heated throughout.
7. If you prefer juicy ribs, coat with basting sauce just before removing from grill. Otherwise serve dry with sauce on side.
8. Remove ribs from grill, cut in between bones and serve.
