Ask your butcher or meat manager at the supermarket about beef ribs. As a guide serve 2-3 beef ribs per person.
Simmer ribs the day before, drain, marinate and refrigerate overnight. It’s then easy to simply barbecue them the next day. Because the ribs are thick and are only cooked for a short time, bring them to room temperature before barbecuing.
Ribs can be cooked on the barbecue, by either indirect or direct heat. Using indirect heat in a covered barbecue will take about 12 mins, turn them once or twice. If using direct heat over an open barbecue have a cooler zone on the barbecue so they can be pushed to the side.
