Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.

Mix together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dry mustard, onion powder, rib rub, salt, brown sugar, the ground peppers, seafood seasoning, cumin and ginger powder.

To prepare the ribs, remove the silver skin from the back or under the rib side. Then rub the trimmed rib racks with the spice mixture. Place the racks onto a sheet of plastic wrap, top with the bay leaves and wrap tightly. Place in the oven (the plastic will not melt at this low temperature) and roast for 2 hours.

Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Place on a cookie sheet and coat with BBQ sauce. Roast, under the salamander on medium heat or in the oven set to broil, until the sauce is caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove the sauced ribs and allow to rest, 3 to 5 minutes. Then portion the ribs into serving-size pieces. Plate and serve with French fries and coleslaw.
