St. Louis-style pork ribs are a popular barbecue dish that originated in the state of Missouri. They are meaty and tender pork ribs that are cut from the belly side of the ribcage. This recipe is an easy way to cook them on a gas grill using simple ingredients like salt and barbeque sauce. These ribs are perfect for outdoor cookouts, family dinners, or any casual occasion where you want to enjoy some delicious finger-licking food.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the gas grill to high heat (around 400-450°F).
2.	Rub salt and black pepper onto the pork ribs.
3.	Place the ribs on the grill and cook them for about 10 minutes until they are browned on both sides.
4.	Turn down the grill heat to low (around 225-250°F) and cover the ribs with aluminum foil. Cook for another hour and a half, basting with your choice of barbeque sauce every 20-30 minutes.
5.	Remove the foil and grill the ribs for a final 10 minutes to caramelize the sauce and give the ribs a nice glaze.
6.	Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving.
