Step 1

Remove excess fat from ribs. Peel the silver skin off the back of the ribs - lift with a sharp knife and grab with a paper towel to remove.

Step 3

Cut ribs apart into individual pieces.

Step 4

Rub ribs all over with lemon juice.

Step 6

Bake in the oven for 2 1/2 hours.

Step 7

Step 9

Grill: To finish ribs on the grill, remove from the pan and place ribs on the grill (I use a basket over direct but low heat) basting and turning a few times for about 10 minutes.

Step 10

Oven: To finish ribs in the oven, set oven to broil and return ribs to the same oven rack, basting and broiling about 5 minutes per side, watching so they don’t burn. They will be so tender, it’s best to turn them using gloved hands.
