4. Australian BBQ Pork Spare Ribs Recipe 1

Equipment

  • Grill: Used for cooking the pork on high heat and achieving smoky flavors and grill marks.
  • Mixing Bowl: Used for combining the marinade ingredients and coating the pork evenly.
  • Resealable Plastic Bag or Shallow Dish: Used for marinating the pork and allowing flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Cutting Board: Used for resting the cooked pork before slicing into portions.
  • Aluminum Foil: Used for tenting the cooked pork and allowing it to rest, enabling the redistribution of juices.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds pork such as pork shoulder or pork loin
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preparing the Pork:

  • a. Trim any excess fat from the pork and cut it into manageable pieces, if needed.
  • b. In a large mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
  • c. Place the pork pieces in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the pork. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor absorption.

Preparing the Grill:

  • a. Preheat the barbecue grill to medium-high heat (around 350-400°F or 175-200°C).
  • b. Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.

Grilling the Pork:

  • a. Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  • b. Place the pork pieces directly on the preheated grill grates. Close the grill lid.
  • c. Grill the pork for about 15-20 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Adjust the grilling time as needed based on the thickness of the pork pieces.

Resting and Serving:

  • a. Once the pork reaches the desired doneness, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board.
  • b. Tent the pork loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a juicier final dish.
  • c. Slice the pork into desired portions and serve hot.

Notes

Preheat the grill properly for even cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to check the pork's internal temperature.
Marinate the pork for an extended period, ideally overnight.
Baste the pork with the marinade while grilling to enhance flavor.
Allow the cooked pork to rest before slicing to retain juiciness.
Experiment with different barbecue sauces and spice blends.
