BBQ Ribs

This is a simple way to cook ribs. My fam likes them this way and some of them don't usually like ribs. These ribs are seasoned, boiled until tender, then baked with your favorite barbeque sauce. That's it. Soooo simple.

Serves 4 (you'll have to double recipe if serving more people)

2 1/2 pounds country style pork ribs ( I like baby back)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
1 cup barbeque sauce

Place ribs in a large pot with enough water to cover. Season with garlic powder, black pepper and salt (and onion wedges, if you like. Sometimes I use 1/2 cup soy sauce, too). Bring water to a boil, and cook ribs until tender (about 45 min). Turn off heat, cover pan and let ribs marinate in the broth for several hours (about 4-5 hours). But you don't have to let them marinate if you are in a hurry, just will have more flavor if they sit.

Preheat oven to 325. Remove ribs from pot, and place them in a 9 x 13 dish. Pour barbeque sauce over ribs. Cover dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Note: I usually put more BBQ sauce on the tops about 20 minutes before I take them out of the oven. These ribs come out incredibly tender and falling off the bone, but still with some tug.
