2 lb. of ribs totalled a count of 14 from our local market. The longer the ribs marinate, the better. Whatever marinade doesn’t absorb into the ribs is cooked down until a bit syrupy and used as a baste. Cross cut beef ribs have lots of meat and 3 small bones. The ribs are cut across the rib into thin slices. Grill at medium heat and not high. The sugar content tends to burn otherwise.Serve with rice and Grilled or Roasted Peppers and Red Onion.
Add marinade to the ribs, turn to coat all ribs and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, preferable overnight.
Turn the ribs occasionally while in the fridge.
Remove ribs from the marinade and let rest in a bowl on the counter for 10 minutes.
Pre heat grill to 350.
While ribs are resting heat any remaining marinade in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and gently simmer for 5 minutes. Use as a baste for the ribs while on the grill.
Grill ribs about 4 minutes per side until cook through, but not dried out.
Notes
Sake is never out of place with sugar and soy dishes, but if you want a red wine try a Gamay/ Beaujolais. They have enough body to pair well with the flavours in the meat dish.Gamay is the signature grape of Beaujolais, but you will see bottles label by the region.We've paired:
