For Oven Cooking:

• Preheat Oven to 180 degrees.

• Put in the oven for one hour.
• Remove the ribs from the oven to drain off any fat and remove the foil covering.

• Take ribs out of the oven to rest for 15 minutes.
• Add the extra marinade.
• Serve with a summer salad and roast potatoes.

For BBQ Cooking:

• Add a drip tray underneath one half of the BBQ.
• You'll want the ribs to cook in indirect heat so set up the burners on the opposite side to the drip pan.
• Heat up the BBQ until it reaches a consistent temperature of approx 220 degrees.
• Beef ribs will need about 3 to 5 hours of cooking time, depending on the thickness of the meat.
• The BBQ temperature will climb so check frequently to ensure that the 220 degree temperature is maintained.
• About 2 hours in, turn the ribs over to get a consistent cook throughout.
• The ribs will be done when easy to pierce with a fork, or when the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
• Baste with the extra marinade as desired and serve.
