Dr. Pepper Rib recipe

Here it is, and so delicious! Courtesy of Men's Health Magazine. We usually pair it with homemade light potato salad, regular salad, baked beans, or corn :)


Serves 4

Ingredients:
2 racks baby back ribs
1 (2L) bottle Dr. Pepper
1/4 c. salt
1 tbs. chilli powder
1/2 tbs. canola or vegetable oil
1/2 onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c. ketchup
2 tbs. worcestershire sauce
2 tbs. cider vinegar
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

Directions

1.

Place the ribs in a large baking dish. Pour in Dr Pepper to cover them, reserving at least 1/2 cup for the sauce. Add the salt and soak the ribs in the fridge overnight (or at least 2 hours).

2.

Heat the oven to 350°F. Remove the ribs from the liquid, dry them, and rub with the chili powder. Place them on a baking dish, add 1 cup of water, and cover tightly with foil. Cook for 2 hours, until the meat nearly falls off the bone.

3.

For the barbecue sauce, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic until they're soft and fragrant, and add the ketchup, Worcestershire, vinegar, cayenne, and 1/2 cup of Dr Pepper. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

4.

Fire up the grill, and brush the ribs with sauce. When the grill is hot, cook them bone side down on a cooler part for 10 to 15 minutes. Flip them and cook until lightly charred and smoky. Remove, and brush on more sauce.
