Napa Dave’s Foil Covered Beef Ribs With Cabernet Sauce

Ingredients

• 5 lbs beef ribs, trimmed

For the rub

• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

For the sauce

• 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
• 1 cup cabernet sauvignon wine

Directions

1. 1

   To make the rub:

2. 2

   In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.

3. 3

   Press the rub into the meat, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.

4. 4

   Prepare for grilling:Remove the plastic wrap. Allow the ribs to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.

5. 5

   Direct Medium heat: Sear ribs until evenly browned, about 10 minutes, turning once halfway through searing time. Transfer to a heavy-gauge aluminum pan (not disposable) large enough to hold the ribs in one layer. If necessary, cut the ribs into smaller sections.

6. 6

   The sauce: In a medium saucepan whisk the BBQ sauce and the wine together. Bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the sauce over the ribs and cover with aluminum foil making a tight seal over the pan to keep the steam inside.

7. 7

   Indirect Medium heat: Grill the ribs until very tender, 1-1/2 to 2 hours, turning once halfway through grilling time.

8. 8

   Remove the ribs from the pan and cut into one- or two-rib pieces. Skim off any fat from the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Serve the ribs hot with the sauce on the side.
