Meanwhile, cut each rack of ribs into sections after every third bone. Cut each section of three 1/2 inch in between every bone, on each side. This will keep the ribs from curling.  

Place ribs in water and cover, allowing a small steam vent with the lid. Once the ribs are in the water and water has reached a rapid boil, reduce heat and par-boil for 40 minutes. While ribs are cooking, cover a counter top with aluminum foil.

Remove ribs from water and place on a counter lined with aluminum foil. Allow to cool slightly.  

Baste all ribs thickly with favorite BBQ sauce on all sides. Store in frig until ready to grill.

Place ribs on covered grill over low-medium heat. Baste and turn frequently. Because ribs are fully cooked, you want to just heat them through and carmalize the BBQ sauce. Careful!  Don''t forget them!

Serve hot!

Notes from Laura:
If you don't have an extra large pot, or your cooking for a crowd, just cook in batches the day before  and  refrigerate after you have basted with BBQ sauce. Bring to room temperature and baste again before putting on the grill.
2000: Jeff''s (Husband) summer favorite! 
2001: Great for a large crowd (hosted neighborhood BBQ). Easily made in advance in large batches and then finished on the grill after guests have arrived.
3-24-02: Berry and son (friends) over for dinner. Served with corn on the cob, bisquits, baked beans and green salad.
6-03: Trenton (son) requests these for every occassion!
1-31-04: Super Bowl Sunday! Served with cabbage slaw and corn on the cob. Black bean salsa and tortilla chips as an appetizer and chocolate pie for dessert.
1-2005: Mandie (daughter) made her own this year and is serving at her own Super-Bowl Party!

-- Notes --
This recipe works equally well with other inexpensive cuts of beef like the Eye of Round Roast, Bottom Round or Rump Roast, and the Top or inside Round Roast.

For even richer and more savory pan juices, and eventually gravy, try substituting Beef Broth or Beef Consomme for the water.

For a complete meal, add your favorite vegetables (onions, potatoes, carrots, celery, mushroom, etc.) and once cooked, simply season and thicken the pan juices, and your meal is finished.<p>Rate this recipe for <a href="http://www.bigoven.com/161035-Easy-Roast-Beef-recipe.html">Easy Roast Beef</a>, or create your own favorites list at <a href="http://www.bigoven.com">www.bigoven.com</a>, with over 170,000 recipes.

Rinse the beans then cover them with warm water and put aside for 24 hours to soak. 

The next day, drain the beans and rinse one more time. Then put them in a large pot, dutch oven, or crockpot. Add about 5 cups of broth, then add the garlic, onion, pepper, and oregano. If you''''re using powdered spices add the cumin and cloves as well. Otherwise, toast the cumin seeds and a couple of whole cloves in a hot pan they they are fragrant. Then grind them up with a mortar  and  pestle or one of those fancy spice grinders. Add the fresh ground spices into the pot. 

Let the pot simmer on a back burner for five hours or so. Test the beans and give the pot a stir every now-n-then and add a bit more broth if need be. You want the beans to be very tender. 

Stir in the 1/2 jalapeno that you diced. Drop in the shredded chicken but reserve a few shreds to garnish with. Dump in the rest of the broth and let it simmer for a few minutes. Then test the flavor and adjust the salt, spices, and jalapeno to suit your mood. Another 30 - 45 minutes simmering and you''''re ready to go. 

Serve this in a bowl garnished with your choice of garnishes. I prefer the sour cream and cilantro while others put cheese and chips on theirs. 

This recipe was inspired by a dish by Chef John Hemmer who is a great cook, even though he is a Yankee.
