Grilled Italian Pork Ribs

These ribs are not fall off the bone tender, they don’t have a sticky, sweet sauce on them. They aren’t smoked. Rather, they are grilled, chewy, easy, and delicious.

Ingredients:

Any rack of pork ribs., cut into 3 rib sections

Salt

Pepper

For the vinaigrette:

2-3 T of EVOO

2 cloves garlic, chopped fine

Large sprig of fresh rosemary, chopped fine

Juice of one lemon

1. Salt and pepper ribs at least an hour before grilling. There is no need to remove silver skin.
2. Prepare the vinaigrette: combine the garlic, olive oil, and rosemary in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds ( it will mellow the garlic). Then add the lemon juice and mix.
3. Grill the ribs over direct heat on a hot grill. Start meat-side down. After about 5 minutes, when the meat is nicely browned, turn it over for 5. After this, continue grilling and turning every 2 minutes until the meat is 150 degrees. Check the temp in multiple places. At this point you may baste with some of your vinaigrette, but it’s optional. Because some ribs have a pronounced curve, you may have to move it around to get parts up to 150. Do not overcook. It could become like leather!
