Ingredients

Pork Ribs

  • 1.5 kg pork ribs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Marinade

  • 250 ml tomato sauce
  • 125 ml soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

Prepare the Ribs:

  • Rinse the pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This can be done by sliding a knife under the membrane and then using a paper towel to grip and peel it off.

Marinate the Ribs:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: tomato sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, chopped onion, paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, and dried thyme.
  • Mix the marinade until the sugar has dissolved.

Marinate the Ribs:

  • Place the pork ribs in a large zip-top plastic bag or a shallow dish.
  • Pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure they are well coated.
  • Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Turn the ribs occasionally to ensure even marination.

Prepare the Braai (Barbecue):

  • Remove the ribs from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
  • Brush the ribs with olive oil and season them with salt and black pepper.

Cook the Ribs:

  • Place the ribs on the preheated braai (barbecue) grates and cook for about 20-30 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
  • Baste the ribs with any remaining marinade during grilling for extra flavor.

Serve:

  • Once the ribs are cooked and have a delicious smoky flavor, remove them from the braai.
  • Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into individual ribs.

Enjoy:

  • Serve your braai pork ribs hot with your favorite side dishes like coleslaw, potato salad, or grilled vegetables.
    These succulent braai pork ribs are sure to be a hit at your barbecue gathering. Enjoy your meal!
