Directions
-
Preheat the barbecue with the lid closed until it reaches a moderate temperature.
-
Position a wire rack inside a large, flameproof ovenproof dish and pour 2 cups of water into the dish to create steam.
-
Rub the pork spare ribs with 60g of the garlic-flavored butter and season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Char-grill the ribs directly over the heat for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
-
Transfer the browned ribs to the wire rack inside the prepared dish and cover tightly with foil.
-
Place the dish on the barbecue grill over indirect heat (turn off the burners directly under the dish but keep them on under the flat plate if available).
-
Close the lid and cook the ribs for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with more melted garlic butter every 30 minutes until tender.
-
Meanwhile, boil the baby red potatoes in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and slice them.
-
Toss the sliced potatoes with the remaining garlic butter and seasonings, then roast or grill until golden.
-
Grill the corn cobs directly over the heat, turning frequently, until charred and tender.
-
Serve the juicy pork ribs with the charred corn and roasted potatoes, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
