Perfecting the grill: Your guide to mouth-watering American ribs

Summer is when grilling becomes a favourite activity for many of us. Traditionally, pork neck and sausages are staples on the grill, but American-style grilled ribs will be an excellent choice if you crave something extraordinary. Preparing such ribs isn't tricky at all. All you need is high-quality meat and a well-prepared marinade, which is vital to this recipe. Learn how to make American-style ribs that impress any meat-lover with their tenderness, delicacy, and juiciness.

The secret to perfect American-style ribs is a simple yet exceptionally aromatic marinade that gives the meat a deep flavour and ensures incredible tenderness. You only need a few essential ingredients to create real magic on the grill!

Ingredients (for 2 servings):

• 500 grams of pork ribs in strips,
• 1.5 tablespoons of honey,
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce,
• 1 teaspoon of salt,
• ½ teaspoon of hot paprika,
• a flat teaspoon of granulated garlic,
• 1 teaspoon of marjoram,
• ½ teaspoon of thyme,
• pepper to taste.

Instructions:

1. Rinse the ribs thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Then, cut them into smaller pieces to make marinating and grilling easier.
2. Prepare the marinade in a bowl. Mix honey, soy sauce, salt, pepper, hot paprika, granulated garlic, marjoram, and thyme. If the marinade seems too thick, add olive oil or lemon juice.
3. Thoroughly coat the ribs with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-covered. Set them in the refrigerator overnight for at least a few hours, or better yet, to allow the marinade to absorb the meat thoroughly.
4. Take the ribs out of the refrigerator about an hour before grilling to bring them to room temperature.
5. Preheat the grill to a high temperature. Place the ribs on the grill and cook them on both sides until golden brown. Grilling time may vary depending on the thickness of the ribs, so it's good to check their tenderness with your finger.
6. Serve the ready ribs with your favourite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or coleslaw.

Additional tips:

• Add spices to the marinade, such as sweet paprika, cumin, oregano, or chilli.
• Add a bit of smoked paprika or barbecue sauce to the marinade if you want an even more intense flavour.
• While grilling, you can occasionally drizzle the ribs with the marinade to maintain their juiciness.
• You can store the ready ribs in the fridge for 2-3 days.
