After Grandma learned to grill Chinese ribs, she fixed them that way often.

Ingredients

1 (14-ounce) can beef broth
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar or honey
1/3 cup ketchup, optional
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 racks baby back pork spareribs (about 2 1/2 pounds), cut into halves

Directions

1

For sauce, combine broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic and ginger in a small bowl and mix well.
2

For the spareribs, arrange spareribs in a single layer in 13 × 9-inch dishes. Spoon the sauce over the spareribs. Chill, covered, for 2 hours.
3

Preheat the grill to medium.
4

Grill the spareribs 10 inches from heat, basting occasionally with sauce, until meat is tender and pulls away from the bones, about 11/2 hours.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma also made great ribs using her slow-cooking method. She arranged the ribs in a baking pan, cutting apart the racks so they fit in the pan, then covered the pan with foil, sealing it tightly. She baked the ribs at 250°F for 6 to 8 hours, basting them occasionally with the marinade, until the meat was so tender it was falling off the bone.
