Notes

For this recipe, getting a good sear on the ribs is best. It helps impart extra flavor. I use a cast iron skillet (get it screaming hot) to brown the ribs. Work in 2 batches so the ribs do not touch while searing the meat and fat.
Store any leftover ribs with the homemade barbecue sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven until warmed through.
