Spicy Pineapple Glazed Ribs

Ingredients

• 2 racks St. Louis style pork ribs, membrane removed
• 2 cups pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp sriracha or other hot sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back of each rack. Season generously with salt, pepper, and onion powder.

2. 2

   In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and let it thicken slightly for 10-15 minutes.

3. 3

   Set your grill for indirect heat, aiming for a consistent temperature of 275-300°F. Place the seasoned ribs on the indirect side.

4. 4

   Grill the ribs for 1.5 hours, maintaining temperature. After this time, brush them liberally with the pineapple glaze.

5. 5

   Continue to grill for another hour, brushing with more glaze every 20-30 minutes, until the ribs are tender and the glaze is caramelized.

6. 6

   Once the ribs reach an internal temperature of 200-203°F and pass the bend test (they should bend easily without breaking), remove them from the grill.

7. 7

   Rest the ribs for 10-15 minutes before slicing into individual bones. Serve with extra warmed glaze on the side.
