Fall Off the Bone - BBQ Pork Ribs

Description:
It was like a milestone for me in this BBQ department. I've never been able to cook fall off the bone meat when I oven baked the ribs. I guess the ribs were cooked in a shorter time and the temperature was also too high. Also, I got to use my slow cooker and now I've lots of ideas what to cook with it but not sure when to cook them :-p

I got the recipe from southernfood.about.com and luckily one of the reviewers said the meat was done and tender after 4 hours in the slow cooker. The meat are still moist too! :D The only thing is there was a lot of left over sauce. Need to gauge it better next time.

Sorry... no photos this time, the ribs are all gone... :-p

Ingredients:
1.3 kg pork ribs (American style pork ribs) or beef ribs
400 mL barbecue sauce, Master Foods
2 small onion, cut into quarters

freshly ground black pepper
ground sea salt

serve with freshly cut vegetables such as red peppers, green peppers and tomatoes

Directions:
1. Half the rib slab. Season ribs with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Put meat on the baking tray lined with a parchment paper. Grill in the oven for 10 minutes on each side. This helps to minimise the protein precipitation during slow cooking.
3. Put the meat, sauce and onion in the slow cooker and set at low. Cover with the lid. Cook for 3.5-4 hours. Pour some sauce on the top of the ribs at half way of cooking.
4. Put the meat the baking tray lined with a parchment paper. Put the bone side on the top first. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side. If you have a BBQ pit with charcoal, I suppose the taste would even be better. Rest the meat for about 5 minutes before slicing.
5. At the mean time, boil the sauce on the saucepan on medium heat until sauce is thickened. Cut the ribs into segments and serve the sauce with the ribs.
