Ingredients
- 4 pounds Beef ribs
- 0.5 cups Lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Prepared BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the beef ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the membrane on the back of the ribs if it hasn’t already been done.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining lemon juice, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
Step 3
Place the ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow container. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or smoker to 250°F (120°C). If using a smoker, add your preferred wood chips for additional flavor.
Step 5
Remove the ribs from the marinade and discard the excess. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Step 6
Place the ribs on the grill or smoker, bone side down. Close the lid and cook for approximately 3 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature of 250°F.
Step 7
After 3 hours, brush the ribs with a mix of BBQ sauce and the reserved lemon zest. Wrap them tightly in aluminum foil and return to the grill or smoker. Cook for another 1 hour or until the ribs are tender, and the meat has started to pull away from the ends of the bones.
Step 8
Carefully remove the foil-wrapped ribs from the grill and allow them to rest for 10-15 minutes. Unwrap and place them back on the grill over medium-high heat. Brush a final layer of BBQ sauce onto the ribs and cook for 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly.
Step 9
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for an additional 5 minutes before slicing them between the bones.
Step 10
Serve the ribs warm with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted potatoes. Enjoy!
