If you\u2019re new to cooking ribs, I recommend starting with the easiest method to get tender, delicious results. Typically, ribs are coated in mustard and dusted with a generous dry rub. It wasn\u2019t always done this way. Some older methods, like using a marinade, fell by the wayside for years. Luckily, thanks to global and fusion BBQ, this method is making a comeback and I\u2019m here for it!<\/p>\n

Tip<\/strong>: If you plan to pair a BBQ rub with this marinade, I suggest applying a no-salt or low-salt rub after marinating the ribs.<\/p>\n

My pork rib marinade recipe can be made up to 4 days in advance and stored in a sealed jar in the fridge. It makes enough mixture for up to 2 full racks of ribs.<\/p>\n

Why Marinate Pork Ribs?<\/h3>\n

Marinades combine oil and acidic ingredients like vinegar, citrus, and fruit juices. The acids tenderize the meat and keep it tender during cooking. The trick with pork ribs is to marinate for a short 2-6 hour timeframe. Pork ribs contain little meat, making them prone to over-marinating and mushiness. So, timing is key. Some Pitmasters use injectable marinades for pork<\/a> ribs, so the same principle applies. While pork is heartier than poultry, it is more delicate than red meats like beef, lamb, and venison. A shorter marinating time produces great results.<\/p>\n

Other Ways to Use a Pork Rib Marinade<\/h3>\n

Use this pork rib marinade on country-style ribs! While they are not actually ribs, but cut from the pork shoulder, they will benefit from the tenderizing effects of marination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

*Remember that marinades are not<\/span> miracle workers! They will flavor and tenderize the meat. However, it should be paired with low and slow cooking to achieve tender results. The same is true for pork loin roasts,\u00a0pork belly<\/a>, and thick-cut pork chops.\u00a0Use 1 cup of marinade per rack of ribs (or 2 1\/2-3 pounds of meat).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
