Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef back ribs
• 4 teaspoons original Tabasco brand pepper sauce, divided
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 325° F.
2. Brush ribs with 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce. Place in large roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil; bake 1 1/2 hours.
3. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine ketchup, molasses, vinegar, brown sugar, remaining 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce and salt. Heat to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered about 5 minutes to blend flavors.
4. Preheat grill to medium-low over indirect heat. Brush ribs on both sides with sauce. Place ribs on grill; meat-side down. Cover and continue cooking 15 minutes. Turn ribs over; brush with more sauce. Cook 15 minutes longer, or until ribs are tender. Serve ribs with grilled bell peppers, if desired.
