Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 300-325°F (150-160°C).
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, cilantro, honey, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
-
Place the racks of ribs in a large baking dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the ribs are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
-
Once the ribs have marinated, remove them from the dish or bag and discard the excess marinade.
-
Place the ribs on the preheated grill, bone side down, and close the lid. Grill for about 2 hours, turning occasionally and basting with any leftover marinade.
-
The ribs are ready when the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bones.
-
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before cutting them into individual portions.
-
Serve the Key West Ribs hot, garnished with some extra chopped cilantro for a fresh burst of flavor.
