Grilled then Steamed Riblets

[walleye56]

I was in my very large favorite grocery store yesteday (not a chain store) and they must have been preparing for some kind of tasting event. They had these pork riblets that they were grilling. They were about 1 inch wide and in strips the length of a rib. They seasoned them with salt and pepper and garlic and no sauce. So I asked them about their procedure. They said that after grilling them that they would then steam them for about 2 hours. Their recommendation was about 1 hour if doing them at home. I am not sure if they sauced them comming out of the steamer or put them back on the grill to do that. I found a recipe on the internet that did a similiar preparation and it claimed to be an Applebee's process. Have any of you tried to cook riblets this way and what are your comments/recommendations?

Sounds like an interesting process and definitely beats boiling. Keen to hear what the folks here have to say.

I mean if you want knockoff style BBQ Ribs...

Jerod Broussard just posted a link to the rendezvous style ribs from the free side of AR if you are just looking for a faster way to cook them.
