Beef Ribs - a Beautiful Barbecue
"The aroma wafting through your neighborhood of barbecuing beef ribs, will be inviting enough to entice drivers to pull over to the curb. They will look for the "new barbecue-shack" in town. They may knock on your door when they have tracked you down. Serve with generous helpings of garlic-bread, mixed green salad, corn on the cob, condiments of your preference, and beverages of your choice. This barbecue sauce may be a bit spicy, so keep lots of chopped lettuce on hand to cut the heat. Preparation time does not include the overnight marinating process. This process is essential to allow all of the flavours to meld into a beautiful thing. The additional bonus is that if your barbecue plans are washed out by rain, you can still bake the beef ribs in your oven roaster, with sauce poured over."

These ribs were very good, I put them in the marinade last night in a zip lock bag, there was plenty of marinade to cover the ribs, in fact I thought the recipe made too much, there is an awful lot left over. It had a good taste but was not exceptional, it could have used more seasoning and less sweetness.I used light soy sauce, other than that followed the recipe as written. I wondered about leaving it on the burner to cool instead of taking it off the heat, that seemed to make it a much longer process than necessary. If I were to make it again, I would double the cayenne, ginger, balsamic vinegar, mustard and horseradish. We did enjoy it and I think it would probably be good also with pork spare ribs, but I would definately tweek up the spices. Good Luck in the contest! -
You know as I was making these I got a little nervous but it came out just sumptuous. I didn`t bother skinning the tomato. 1/4 lemon peel and all??? I did use it. And I skipped the salt because of all the soy sauce.To make it easy I put all the sauce ingredients into the processor and cooked it all together till reduced. Thanks for a great marinade! -
Good recipe, but Hot sauce, horseradish can always be served at the table and added individually. Also HEAVY on use of Cayenne Pepper. A pinch would do.

<p>Gone, but not Forgotten. Where is she? someone asked. Not far was the loud response. Certainly not hiding in a large roasting pan, although I do have one about the size of a hog. <br /> <br />If I don't do this now, I never will, and if I never will, who will tell me if I am any good at the literature game? I am taking some time off to concentrate on writing a book...and you people have been distracting me. Oh yeah, sez you... What kinda book? Well, one with about 200 pages, give or take a dozen or so... maybe 300 who knows? Everyone knows Toolie has a lot to say at the best of times. <br /> <br />A DIY book??? Naaahhh, I'll leave that to the real mechanics at Canadian Tire and Home Depot. <br /> <br />A Recipe Book? Yeah, Right!!!! Like I would compete with this site or any other... Not in this lifetime... I have a tough enough time competing with some of you chefs, so I just don't, and won't. <br /> <br />Oh sure, I will cook some of your recipes, for special occasions. Pictures? Who knows? but don't hold your breath. Posting in the forums? Perhaps, but not on a regular basis... Posting recipes??? from time to time.... <br /> <br />Why hang around, you say? Because I wanna keep my terrific handle. There is only one TOOLBELT DIVA folks...
