Ingredients

	Metric	Imperial
Seasoned St. Louis Style Side Ribs	3 Kg	6.6 Lbs
Salt	10 mL	2 Tbsp
Black Pepper, ground	10 mL	2 Tbsp
BBQ Sauce, prepared	720 mL	3 Cups
Garlic, minced	60 mL	1/4 Cups
Vegetable Oil	30 mL	2 Cups
Brown Sugar	180 mL	3/4 Cups
Chili Powder	30 mL	2 Tbsp
Vinegar	120 mL	1/2 Cup
Water	120 mL	1/2 Cups

Season the pork side ribs with salt and pepper, place on a parchment lined baking sheet and cover with foil. Place in a 300 F pre-heated oven for 2.5 hours or until ribs are tender.
While the ribs are baking, make the sauce: Heat oil in a medium pot, add garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes to combine flavours. Baste ribs with 1/2 of the BBQ sauce batch after 1 hour of baking, and then return the ribs to oven to finish cooking.
Heat the ribs to an internal temperature of 165 F (74 C) and until tender. Once the ribs are fully cooked, transfer to hotel pans and brush the tops of the ribs with the remaining Sweet & Spicy sauce and place back into the oven for 20 minutes to caramelize the ribs.

Garnish with sauce from the pan. Serve with roasted potatoes and a spinach-strawberry salad (not included in nutritional analysis).
