TIP
* Beef Grilling Back Ribs, also known as Beef Spare Ribs, come from the Prime Rib Premium Oven Roast – don’t confuse them with Beef Short Ribs. You can ask them to be cut for you at the meat counter and you may need to order them a day or two in advance.

* Use a bottled Smokey Barbecue flavoured sauce to save time.

* Small cans of chipolte peppers can be found in the Mexican section of grocery stores. This hot chile is actually a smoked jalapeno. It adds a spicy smoky flavour to dishes. Use sparingly in sauces, marinades and dressings. You can freeze what’s leftover.
