This Bourbon BBQ Beef Back Ribs recipe uses high-quality Certified Angus Beef. The beef is cooked slow and low in a smoker, which makes it really tender and tasty. The homemade sauce is a mix of BBQ sauce, bourbon, soy sauce, and Bravado Pineapple & Habanero Pepper Hot Sauce. It gives the ribs a unique sweet, spicy, and smoky flavor.
