  • In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, lemon juice, white vinegar, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, and mustard. Season with garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, white pepper, and cayenne pepper; mix well and set aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or smoker to 225 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C).

Baste ribs with mustard sauce liberally during the final 30 minutes. Heat remaining sauce to a boil and serve on the side.
