Ingredients
- 2 racks of pork ribs

- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the Oven or Grill:
- If using an oven, preheat it to 375°F (190°C).
- If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Prepare the Ribs:
- If the ribs have a membrane on the back, remove it for better flavor penetration.
- Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
- Marinate the Ribs:
- In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper.
- Brush the mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Let the ribs marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Cooking in the Oven:
- Place the marinated ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the ribs are tender, basting with the marinade every 30 minutes.
- Grilling Instructions:
- Grill the ribs over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, and basting with the marinade.
- Cook for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the ribs are cooked through and have a caramelized glaze.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once cooked, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
Tips and Quick Process
- For a quicker option, you can use pre-cooked ribs and simply brush them with the honey garlic glaze before grilling or broiling for a shorter time.
- Adjust honey and soy sauce quantities based on your taste preferences for sweetness and saltiness.
- If grilling, indirect heat can help prevent flare-ups and ensure even cooking.
- Reserve some marinade for brushing onto the ribs during the last few minutes of cooking for a glossy finish.
