Ribs

Mongolian BBQ Sauce

Method

Preparing the Ribs

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    Preheat your grill to medium heat. In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the baby back ribs.

  2. 2

    Grill the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down. Grill for about 2 hours, turning every 30 minutes, until they are tender and have a nice char.

Making Mongolian BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, crushed Szechuan peppercorns, and chili flakes. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.

Finishing Touches

  1. 4

    Glaze the Ribs

    During the last 15 minutes of grilling, brush the Mongolian BBQ sauce generously over the ribs. Allow them to caramelize on the grill.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with extra Mongolian BBQ sauce and chopped green onions on top.
