MAIN COURSE


Beef Ribs With Cabernet Sauce

Ingredients

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.
