Coffee-Infused Bbq Baby Back Ribs

Ingredients

4 teaspoons chile powder
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne

Preparation

1
Preheat the oven to *350. Mix the first seven ingredients in a small bowl.
2
Cut each rack in several pieces and rub the spices over all the rib sections. You can leave the ribs whole if you like the way they look better--I just think they are easier to handle on the grill in smaller pieces! Pour 4 cups of water and 1 tsp. of liquid smoke in a roasting pan.
3
Place the ribs in the pan, top up. Tightly cover the pan with foil and bake for 2 hours. Remove from the oven and rest until ready to grill. Meanwhile, add 1 Tb. oil to a sauce pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then add the rest of the ingredients for the BBQ sauce to the sauce pan. Simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Heat a grill over medium-low heat. Brush the ribs completely with BBQ sauce. Place them on the grill and cook for 20 minutes, turning and brushing every 5 minutes until the desired “bark” has developed.
5
It's fun to make your own BBQ sauce. But in a pinch, buy a bottled variety you like and simmer for a few minutes with the coffee granules!
