ADVANCE PREPARATION: 2 hours for marinating the meat
Ribs are the ultimate barbecue. And mastering the perfect rib is how grill meisters earn the title. So what constitutes perfection? First, the ribs should be tender without being soft or mushy. The perfect ribs will be sweet and smoky, but there should also be an undertaste of acidity and spice. Great ribs will be messy to eat, but they shouldn’t be slimy with barbecue sauce.
