Sesame Ribs

This recipe was originally called Sesame Short Ribs, but we love it with country style pork ribs. From the Canadian Living Barbeque and Summer Foods Cookbook. Prep time includes precooking the ribs prior to grilling. I like to prepare them ahead of time for a company barbeque, and I usually double the recipe because everyone loves them!
