🥘Ingredients

For the Marinade

1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder

1 tablespoon chili powder

For the Pork Ribs

4 pounds pork ribs

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, chili powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
2Stir until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
3Place the pork ribs in a large baking dish or a resealable plastic bag.
4Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
5Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
6Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, or preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
7Remove the ribs from the marinade and shake off any excess.
8Place the ribs on the grill or in a baking dish.
9Grill or bake the ribs for 20-25 minutes on each side, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
10Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 145°F (63°C).
11Baste the ribs with the remaining marinade every 10 minutes during cooking.
12This will add extra flavor and help keep the ribs moist.
13Once the ribs are cooked, allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
14This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
