How to Make Asian Lime Ribs

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Prepare ribs: Remove membrane from the back of the ribs (if present). Pat ribs dry with paper towels.
  3. Make the Asian Lime Rub: In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 2 teaspoons lime zest, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Generously rub the spice mixture all over the ribs.
  5. Place ribs in a large resealable bag or shallow dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably up to 4 hours.
  6. Place ribs on the preheated grill. Grill for 30 minutes, then brush with Asian Lime Sauce (#120396 - recipe to be added later).
  7. Continue grilling, basting with the sauce every 20 minutes, until the ribs are tender and the internal temperature reaches 190-200°F (88-93°C), approximately 1-1.5 hours.
  8. Remove ribs from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
