Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef back ribs
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey until well combined to create a marinade.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, paprika, and cumin to the marinade. Stir until all spices are fully integrated.
Place the beef ribs into a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the ribs. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 350°F/175°C).
Remove the ribs from the marinade and let them rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes. While the ribs rest, strain the marinade into a small saucepan, add 2 cups of water, and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
Spray the grill grates lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the ribs on the grill bone-side down, cover, and grill for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones easily. Turn the ribs occasionally and brush them with the reduced marinade every 30 minutes.
Once cooked through, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the ribs hot with additional sauce on the side, if desired.
