Directions

1. Step1
   Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking over low heat (300 degrees).
2. Step2
   In a small bowl, for rub combine 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, garlic, oregano and black pepper. Season ribs all over with rub mixture. Let ribs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
3. Step3
   Place rib racks, bone sides down, on grill rack over indirect heat side. Grill for 2 hours.
4. Step4
   Meanwhile, for sauce, heat oil in a medium saucepan. Sauté onion about 10 minutes or until fragrant. Add Dr. Pepper, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, honey, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat. Cool slightly.
5. Step5
   Purée sauce in pan with immersion blender, or transfer in batches to a blender; cover and blend until smooth; set aside.
6. Step6
   Tear off 3 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 2-1/2 times the length of a slab of ribs. After 2 hours of grilling, remove ribs from grill and lay each slab on a sheet of foil. Be sure to close the grill lid so temperature remains at 300 degrees. Lightly brush each slab of ribs with prepared sauce on both sides and wrap tightly in foil.
7. Step7
   Return slabs to grill. Grill for 30 to 60 minutes more or until ribs are done, when meat has shrunk back from the bones by 1/4 inch or more. Remove slabs from foil. Serve with remaining sauce.
