Baby Back Ribs

Ingredients

6 pounds baby back pork ribs

2 cups water

40 ounces BBQ sauce (until I find a recipe I like, I use Sweet Baby Rays)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large roasting pan with a rack (a heavy duty, rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack will work just fine) arrange the ribs evenly on the rack. Add water and cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil to prevent steam from escaping.

Put roasting pan into the oven and bake for 3 hours.

Remove the ribs from the oven and roasting pan (discard the water) and preheat your gas grill

Cover the ribs with sauce.

Grill the ribs on the grill for about 5 minutes per side on medium high heat, or until slightly charred. Since the meat is already cooked this step is just about caramelizing the BBQ sauce to the rib meat.
