Chili'S Baby Back Ribs - Copycat - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 lbs pork baby back ribs
    2 cups water
    Sauce
    1 cup white vinegar
    1/2 cup tomato paste
    1 tablespoon dry mustard
    1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
    1 teaspoon liquid smoke
    3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    1 1/4 teaspoons salt
    1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/4 teaspoon paprika
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0.
    Cut the rib slabs in half, leaving 6 to 8 ribs per section. In a large roasting pan, arrange the ribs evenly, then add the water. Cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil to prevent steam from escaping. Bake for 3 hours.
    About 2 hours into the baking time, make the sauce. In a large saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients. Simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
    Prepare the coals in a barbecue. Remove the ribs from the roasting pan. Discard the water.
    Cover the ribs with the sauce, saving about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce for later use at the table. Grill the ribs on the barbecue for about 5 minutes per side, or until slightly charred.
    Serve with the remaining sauce and lots of paper towels or moist towelettes.
    ***ALTERNATE SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS: Place the ribs in a slow cooker, pouring the sauce over. Let cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is very tender.
