1 T ground black pepper
2 racks pork ribs (fat trimmed)
canola oil
steaming liquid, recipe follows
guava glaze, recipe follows

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.

Heat grill to medium. Rub ribs with a few tablespoons of the spice mixture and drizzle with canola oil and place on the grill until you have reached a golden brown crust. remove ribs and place on a platter. Remove the grate from the grill and place the steaming liquid on the coals or heating element. Place the grate back on the grill and put the ribs spice side down. Baste with the guava glaze every 10 minutes until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. If you run out of liquid add more soy and water. Remove ribs from the grill when done and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
