How to Make Mexican Ribs Al Fresco

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup your favorite hot sauce, 2 tablespoons chili powder, and 1/2 cup dry red wine.
  2. Add 3 lbs pork ribs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
  3. Remove ribs from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. In a blender or food processor, combine the reserved marinade with 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
  5. Place ribs on the preheated grill. Grill for 30 minutes, basting frequently with the prepared sauce.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium and continue grilling for another 1-1.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily pull away from the bone, basting every 15 minutes. Internal temperature should reach 190-200°F (88-93°C).
  7. Remove ribs from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
