If you want to reduce the cooking time in barbecuing ribs you should try and boiling them in beer. With the addition of water and spices to the beer, this significantly cuts the cook time in almost half compared to cooking them on the grill from start to finish.

Beer also acts as a tenderizer and when simmered low and slow in beer makes the meat on the ribs softer. After boiling the ribs in the beer you can finish them off on the barbecue by flash grilling them for 10 minutes or so. When you’re short on time, this is a great method to try.
