Barbecue Pork Ribs

Time: 2 hours prep, 15 minutes cook
Servings: 6 Servings
 

Directions

  1. Place ribs in a large pot. Cover ribs with water and add vinegar. Boil for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until tender.
  2. Remove from the pot; cool. Sprinkle seasoning spices liberally on both sides of slab.
  3. Mix the barbecue sauce, marmalade, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce together in a bowl.
  4. Place the ribs in a sealable plastic bag and add the marinade sauce in the bag. Marinate ribs for 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Place ribs on medium to medium low grill for 15 minutes before serving. You want the ribs to heat thoroughly and brown but not blacken.
  6. We typically serve these with Japanese (short grain) rice (white, brown or a mix), Japanese pickles and/or kimchi, aspargus or brussels sprouts, and a green salad. It also goes well with mashed potatoes or garlic mashed potatoes. Getting hungry just thinking about it!

This is my father-in-law's famous ribs recipe. He's a well traveled dentist, and has served this to friends and colleagues from all over the country. Most will tell you honestly they are the best ribs they have ever had. This is what our kids ask for when they are at Grandpa's house near their birthday and they get to pick the meal. A treat for the whole family! And don't be scared off by the marmalade. It's the awesome secret ingredient!

        Do you cut slabs in half to boil in large pot? And do you use Baby Back, st.louis or the big slabs?

        Thanks

            Has anyone ever tried incorporating a smoker in this recipe? I think I may try it.
