Cook Time: 3 hrs
Total Time: 3 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef finger ribs
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon ginger powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove beef finger ribs from refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels to ensure even seasoning and better marinade absorption.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Whisk ingredients thoroughly until sugar dissolves completely.
- Place ribs in a large resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over them. Seal bag and massage marinade into meat, ensuring all surfaces are evenly coated. Refrigerate and let marinate for minimum 2 hours, preferably overnight for deeper flavor penetration.
- Preheat BBQ grill or smoker to low temperature, around 250-275°F. For indirect heat cooking, prepare grill with hot coals or gas burners on one side.
- Remove ribs from marinade, reserving remaining liquid. Pat ribs dry and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.
- Place ribs on cooler side of grill, away from direct heat. Close grill lid and cook slowly, turning occasionally and basting with reserved marinade every 30 minutes.
- Cook ribs for approximately
- 5-3 hours, or until meat becomes tender and begins to pull away from bones. Internal meat temperature should reach 195-203°F.
- During final 15 minutes of cooking, brush ribs with additional teriyaki sauce to create a caramelized glaze.
- Remove ribs from grill and let rest for 10-15 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Slice ribs between bones and serve hot, garnishing with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Tips
- Marinate Overnight: For the best flavor, marinate your beef finger ribs overnight. This allows the teriyaki sauce and spices to penetrate deeply into the meat, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
- Temperature Control: Keep your grill or smoker at a low temperature (250-275°F) to ensure the ribs cook slowly and evenly. This helps break down the tough fibers in the meat, making them incredibly tender.
- Baste Frequently: Don’t forget to baste the ribs with the reserved marinade every 30 minutes. This not only adds flavor but also keeps the ribs moist during the cooking process.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ribs. They are perfectly cooked when they reach between 195-203°F, ensuring they are tender and juicy.
- Rest Before Serving: Allow the ribs to rest for 10-15 minutes after grilling. This step is crucial as it helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making every bite more succulent.
- Garnish for Presentation: For a touch of color and extra flavor, garnish your ribs with chopped green onions or sesame seeds before serving. It adds a beautiful finish and a hint of freshness!
