Title: Tequila Marinated Spareribs
Ingredients:
– 3 pounds of pork spareribs
– 1 cup tequila
– 1/2 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup honey
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– Juice of 2 limes
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine the tequila, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the honey is fully dissolved, and the marinade is well combined.
2. Trim any excess fat from the spareribs and place them in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish that can hold all the ribs in a single layer.
3. Pour the marinade over the spareribs, making sure they are completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight. This will allow the flavors to fully infuse into the meat.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the spareribs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting while grilling.
5. Place the spareribs on the grill, bone side down, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade and turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The ribs are done when the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium, according to your preference.
6. Once the spareribs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish the Tequila Marinated Spareribs with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness and color. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides like grilled corn, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.
These Tequila Marinated Spareribs are a fantastic way to elevate your grilling game and will surely be a hit at your next cookout. The combination of tequila, garlic, and lime adds a zesty kick to the tender spareribs, creating a flavor profile that is truly unforgettable.
