Preparation

Step 1

Turn on one side of a gas grill to medium-high heat. Cover and preheat until the thermometer registers 300°. Sprinkle the ribs evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Place bone side down, as far from the flame as possible (you can use a second-tier rack too). Cover and cook until the meat pulls back slightly from the bones (1¼ to 1½ hours). Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well. When ribs are cooked, brush one side of a rib rack with the sauce, flip onto the flame, sauce side down, and cook until glazed (2 to 3 minutes). Repeat with other side. Remove from the grill and repeat glazing with other two rib racks. Cut between the bones and serve.
