There's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into some baby back ribs. Read on if you want to learn about a trick that is used to fill many a menu....
It can be great to throw some ribs on the grill and lather them up with some good BBQ sauce. But it is highly limiting. Once that sauce is on there, you can only do so much with them. So when I don't want to commit to a particular flavor, I have a different approach.
All I put on the ribs is some salt, ground garlic, and paprika. I sear it under the broiler while I boil up some stock on the side. Once the ribs are seared and the stock is simmering, I place the meat side face down, pour the broth over it, cover them with foil, and slowly bake them at 225 degrees.
Once they reach my desired level of tenderness, I pull them out, cut them into sections, and put them in a container in the fridge separate from the broth. This gives me an essentially blank canvas to work with!
I can cut the meat into pieces, and brown them in butter, or slowly simmer them in some of the broth. Once they're heated, I drain the broth or butter, and drizzle whatever type of sauce I want on them, BBQ, teriyaki, or in this case some sweet Thai chili sauce.
You see something similar done with chicken wings, where a restaurant may have many different flavors. It's a great way to have a diverse range of flavors with a minimal amount of effort and expense.

2moI use it as a salad dressing sometimes as well. I like to add a little mustard to thicken.
