Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork ribs
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Liquid smoke
Directions
Step 1
Begin by removing the silverskin from the back of the pork ribs. This ensures your ribs will be tender and flavorful.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, salt, olive oil, and liquid smoke to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the pork ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the ribs. Ensure the ribs are well-coated.
Step 4
Refrigerate the marinating ribs for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for maximum flavor absorption.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 300°F (150°C).
Step 6
Remove the ribs from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a nice grill sear.
Step 7
Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and grill for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Keep the grill lid closed as much as possible to maintain consistent heat.
Step 8
Baste occasionally with remaining marinade to keep the ribs moist, but be mindful to do this towards the end of cooking to avoid burning the marinade.
Step 9
Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. It should read 145°F (63°C).
Step 10
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Step 11
Serve the ribs warm with your favorite low-fat sides and enjoy this healthier take on BBQ ribs.
