BEEF RIBS WITH ORANGE BBQ SAUCE
I don't think beef ribs get enough BBQ love, usually because people don't cook them long enough, so they are too chewy. Well, not these babies, they're fall-off-the-bone tender.

Steps:
- Begin by toasting the fennel seeds in a dry pan over medium-high heat. Toast for 4 or 5 minutes, until they become fragrant; toss occasionally as they toast so they don't burn. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind to a fine powder.
- Rinse the ribs in cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Unless your butcher has already done so, remove the membrane from the back and trim off any excess fat. Combine the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Coat both sides of the meat with a heavy layer of the dry rub. Refrigerate overnight, uncovered.
- Heat half the grill to medium to create indirect heat.
- Set out a few large sheets of foil (one for each slab). Divide the sliced onion and thyme between the sheets and spread them out evenly. Place 1 rack on each sheet, meat side down, and fold the foil over to form a sealed pouch around each rack. Place each pouch on a roasting tray (to keep foil from getting pierced and letting steam out) and grill it over indirect heat for 2 hours.
- Open the foil and peel it back so the ribs are exposed. Carefully turn the meat over so the meat side is on top, then cook for 1 1/2 hours with the foil open. When done, the ribs will be tender and the meat will have shrunk back from the bones.
- For the last 10 minutes, remove the ribs from the foil and place them directly on the hot side of the grill. Brush with the Orange BBQ Sauce and allow the heat to caramelize the sauce and crisp the exterior, then flip the ribs and brush the other side for the final 5 minutes. Serve with additional sauce.
- Whisk together all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat for 25 to 30 minutes, until it reaches a ketchup-like consistency.

SWEET AND SMOKY BARBEQUE SAUCE
Use this toward the end of cooking as you would for any BBQ meat such as pork, ribs, or chicken. I have even used it on beef and hamburgers, sausages, hot dogs, or anything you want, for the most part. I use it on everything from ribs to roasts to hamburgers to hot dogs. Even goes good with a good old classic grilled cheese sandwich. This is a great all-round BBQ sauce. Use right away or cool to room temperature, transfer to jars or containers, and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for several months in the fridge.

BIRD'S ORANGE CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCE
If you like sweet with lots and lots of heat, this is a great sauce. I created this for Buddha and my nephew, since they never seem to get enough 'fire' for their tastebuds. Serve your grilled meat with ranch dressing at the table for a wonderful new level of flavor. (It's also great for your guests who need the heat turned down). Enjoy :)

SMOKEY CHIPOTLE ORANGE BARBECUE SAUCE
I came up with this delicious barbecue sauce trying to keep in mind what I could have on hand in the pantry or in the freezer in a pinch. Use this as a finishing sauce (not a marinade) during the last 7-10 minutes if grilling or the last 30 minutes if cooking in the oven.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients and puree in a food processor and blend until smooth. Bring to a boil in a tall saucepan, drop to a low simmer and cook, stirring often, until thick, about 30 minutes.
- Two chipotle make this lightly smokey and spicy. Use more if you like things spicy! Freeze the left over chipotle from the can in a covered ice cube tray or pressed flat in freezer safe plastic wrap for future use.
- Freeze the left over fresh ginger washed, air dried, not peeled and cut into one inch pieces. When you need 2 tsps, just take out an inch, let it defrost in a small bowl and squeeze out the juice. Fantastic!
- This is enough to cover one whole chicken or 2 baby back ribs with some sauce left over for those who want a little more -- .

Tips:
- Use a variety of chili peppers to create a complex flavor profile. Chipotle peppers provide a smoky heat, while orange habaneros add a fruity sweetness. If you like it hotter, you can also add a few cayenne peppers.
- Roast the chili peppers before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more digestible.
- Use fresh orange juice and zest for the best flavor. Bottled orange juice and zest will not provide the same depth of flavor.
- Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
- Use the sauce on grilled or roasted chicken, pork, or fish. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chicken wings or vegetables.
