Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pounds pork ribs
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: paprika or cayenne pepper for heat

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Season the ribs with salt, pepper, and any optional spices.
  4. Brush the garlic butter mixture over the ribs.
Grilling
  1. Grill the ribs for about 1.5 to 2 hours, turning occasionally, until tender.
  2. In the last 30 minutes of grilling, brush BBQ sauce on the ribs, turning to coat well.
  3. Remove from grill, let rest for a few minutes, then serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Notes

Make sure to preheat your grill properly to ensure even cooking. You can marinate the ribs in the garlic butter mixture for a few hours before grilling to enhance the flavor. For extra tenderness, wrap the ribs in aluminum foil while grilling for the first hour, then uncover them to finish with the BBQ sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
