Print RecipeSummer is synonymous with soaking in the sun and grilling. For the latter, is there anything better than firing up a grill, rubbing down a rack of ribs with a, um, rub, throwing them on the grill, slathering them with a sauce, and then getting down with them to the point where napkins become useless? Is there anything better?
Yes. These ribs!
These ribs step away from the traditional American barbecue sauce, opting for a spicy Korean BBQ flavor. It's a great opportunity to try something new on the grill without sacrificing any tangy, charred perfection.
These Korean BBQ ribs are really easy to make and are perfect for a quick dinner. Marinate the ribs up to a day in advance and just toss them on the grill when you're ready for dinner. You can also marinate the ribs and freeze them up to two months. How's that for planning ahead?
Sweet, spicy, and simply delicious, this recipe can be served with a zesty slaw or keep it simple with a side of white rice sprinkled with sesame seeds.
