Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 2 hours
Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 racks of baby back ribs

1 cup orange juice

1/2 cup lime juice

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp black pepper

Salt to taste

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

2. Place the racks of ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

4. Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on the grill. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side to get a nice sear.

5. Reduce the heat to medium-low, close the grill lid, and continue to cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade until the ribs are tender and juicy.

6. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes.

7. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Storage

Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
