Key West Ribs

Ingredients:
– 2 racks of baby back ribs
– 1 cup orange juice
– 1/2 cup lime juice
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 1/4 cup honey
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 300-325°F (150-160°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, cilantro, honey, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
3. Place the racks of ribs in a large baking dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the ribs are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
4. Once the ribs have marinated, remove them from the dish or bag and discard the excess marinade.
5. Place the ribs on the preheated grill, bone side down, and close the lid. Grill for about 2 hours, turning occasionally and basting with any leftover marinade.
6. The ribs are ready when the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bones.
7. Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before cutting them into individual portions.
8. Serve the Key West Ribs hot, garnished with some extra chopped cilantro for a fresh burst of flavor.
