Spicy Grilled Short Ribs

1 1/2 pounds well-trimmed beef short ribs, cut crosswise 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 jalapeno peppers, minced
3 tablespoons green onions, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste

Combine barbecue sauce, lemon juice, jalapeno peppers and green onion. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade. Place ribs in large plastic bag; add remaining marinade, turning to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 to 8 hours, turning occasionally.

Remove ribs from marinade; discard marinade. Place ribs on grid over medium coals. Grill 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, brushing with marinade. Season with salt and pepper.

Suggestions
To reduce heat of jalapenos, remove ribs and seeds
