For the Rub
- 2 teaspoons dried marjoram
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper
- 2 beef rib racks, about 5 pounds
For the Sauce
- 1-1/2 cups barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Directions
To make the rub: In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.
Trim the ribs of any excess fat. Press the rub into the meat, cover with
plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.
Allow the ribs to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.
Prepare a medium fire for direct grilling. Sear over direct medium heat
until evenly browned, about 10 minutes, turning once halfway through
searing time. Transfer to a heavy gauge aluminum pan large enough to hold
the ribs in one layer. If necessary, cut the ribs into smaller sections.
To make the sauce: In a medium saucepan whisk together the sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the sauce over the ribs and tightly cover with aluminum foil.
Prepare a medium fire for indirect grilling. Grill the ribs over indirect
medium heat until very tender, 1-1/2 to 2 hours, turning once halfway through grilling time.
Serve the ribs hot with the sauce on the side.
