Marinade For Pork Spareribs
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs pork spareribs
– 1/2 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup honey
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp brown sugar
– 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
– 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tsp ground black pepper
– 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
– 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
– 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the marinade in a mixing bowl. Combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk everything together until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Place the pork spareribs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Ensure the ribs are spread out in a single layer for even marinating.
3. Pour the marinade over the spareribs, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
4. About 30 minutes before grilling, remove the pork spareribs from the refrigerator to bring them to room temperature. This helps the meat cook more evenly.
5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
6. Remove the spareribs from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Reserve the marinade for basting.
7. Grill the pork spareribs for about 40-50 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade. The ribs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
8. Once cooked, remove the spareribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the juicy and flavorful results of your marinated pork spareribs!
