  • 2 large slabs St. Louis Style (not baby back) ribs
  • 6 cups General Tso’ Sauce (Available in the international aisle at your local grocer)
  • 4 cups Water

  5. The next day, preheat grill to high heat and clean grates very well – if oven heating is desired, preheat oven to 425°F.
  6. Remove ribs from braising liquid and place directly onto preheated grill – for oven heating, place ribs onto a foil lined sheet tray.

  8. Cook grilled ribs on each side for approximately 5-7 minutes – for oven heating, allow to cook on each side for 10 to 15 minutes.
  9. Remove from grill and serve with your favorite vegetables.
