INGREDIENTS:

For basting sauce:
·   1 cup tomato sauce
·   1 cup smoky barbecue sauce ( your favorite brand)
·   1/4 cup cola
·   2 tablespoons honey
·   2 tablespoons brown sugar
·   1 tablespoon apple cider  vinegar
·   1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
·   1/4 teaspoon hot sauce Tabasco
·   11/2 clove garlic, minced

Rib rub:
·   1/3 cup brown sugar
·   1/2 tablespoon salt
·   1/2 tablespoon paprika
·   1/2 tablespoon black pepper
·   1 teapoon Mexican mild chilli powder
·   1 teaspoon vegeta
·   1 teaspoon cumin
·   3 Kilos beef or pork ribs

PREPARATION:
To prepare sauce:

combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Let mixture come to a boil and then reduce and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons water. Remove sauce from heat and set aside.

To prepare ribs:

place ribs in large pot with water, remember to remove the membrane from bone side first. Par-boil the ribs for 5 minutes and remove them onto a baking sheet ( I put the beef ribs in the slow cooker on high for 2 hours with a cup of water, they came out very tender after BBQing). After ribs are par-boiled, apply rib rub to each side of ribs.
Preheat grill. Place beef ribs on grill and cook over medium-low heat. Turn and baste ribs every 15 minutes, until finished cooking,  Remove from heat and serve immediately.
