Sweet Chile Beef Ribs

Sweet Chile Sauce:
1/4 C. water
2 T. white vinegar
1/2 t. hoisin sauce
1/2 small fresh red chile, chopped
1/4 C. brown sugar, firmly packed

Beef Ribs
3 lbs. trimmed beef ribs
1 1/2 T. soy sauce
1/4 C. rice wine
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 t. grated fresh ginger
3 T. finely chopped cilantro

To prepare chile sauce, combine sauce ingredients in pan; stir over heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil, simmer, uncovered, about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Place ribs in large shallow dish. To prepare marinade, combine Sweet Chile Sauce with soy sauce, rice wine, garlic and cilantro; pour over ribs. Cover tightly; marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare fire for indirect-heat cooking. Drain ribs; cook in covered preheated grill, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy all over, about 30 minutes.

Serves 4.
