Baby Back Barbecue Ribs

Pork ribs steamed and then grilled on the barbecue. Heavily seasoned ribs placed in foil packets are steamed in water for an hour, removed and directly grilled for 15 minutes. Ribs are basted with barbecue sauce during final cooking. Finished ribs fall off the bone.

Ingredients -

2 sheets (18x24-inches each) Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
3 pounds Baby Back Pork Ribs
1 tablespoon packed Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon Paprika
2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
1-½ teaspoons Pepper

4. Rub seasonings over ribs. Coat both sides evenly.

5. Fold foil up around ribs and seal top and one end.

6. Add ¼ cup water to open ends of packets and seal. Foil should be sealed closed but not too tight around ribs.
