Method
Heat a tablespoon of oil or butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the yellow mustard, stone‑ground mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and hot sauce; whisk to combine.
Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld.
Season with salt to taste.
Brush the sauce over pre‑cooked ribs and place the ribs under a pre‑heated broiler for 3–5 minutes, or until the glaze caramelizes.
