Grilled spareribs
Tips
To ensure that the grilled ribs are evenly cooked, try to monitor the temperature throughout the cooking process. By doing so, all the meat will be perfectly done at the same time, meaning that every bite is as good as the previous one.
Tips
A simple way to give your meat that extra flavour boost is to let it rest for a few minutes before serving. We know it looks delicious and ready to eat, but by letting it rest, you allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, giving it a lovely moist bite.

When the meat is cooked on the BBQ, it gets a nice juicy moistness, while the sugar from the honey caramelises and gives the meat another dimension of indelible sweetness.
Make a savoury marinade
A quality rack of ribs goes a long way, but to make the best grilled pork rib, you need a flavour-enhancing element like the savoury sparerib marinade. Some people enjoy a classic BBQ marinade, but to truly steal the spotlight at any summer cookout, coat your ribs in our delectable sparerib marinade with a twist. The different but carefully chosen ingredients craft a complex yet well-balanced marinade full of the sweetness, richness, and spiciness you want when eating grilled ribs.
How to serve grilled spareribs
Grilled spareribs are great not only because of their incredible taste but also because of their versatility. Plate with a beautiful fresh salad and a bit of sour cream, and you have a wonderful weekday dinner for the whole family to enjoy. But summertime tends to be a social time, meaning summer cookouts, birthday parties in the sun, and outdoor potlucks. Grilled spareribs will dazzle at any event.
You can serve grill ribs with a vast variety of salads and sides. A traditional BBQ choice would be to serve the meat with a delicious potato salad with tangy apples. It is easily made in advance and can be brought to any picnic or BBQ party. For something even lighter, a simple watermelon salad is both easy on the eye and the taste buds. It perfectly combines the naturally sweet with the naturally fresh that fits so well with the savoury grilled spareribs. Maybe, just maybe, you find yourself in the mood to go all in on summer – then try our aptly named summer salad stacked with strawberries, peas, tomatoes, and different types of salad. Serve, if you like, with homemade olive bread, perfect for soaking up leftover juices.
Ideas for modifying the recipe
With most meat you cook on the BBQ, you can try various ways of experimenting with the marinade. Here, we give you a few suggestions if you are in an adventurous mood.
A spicy chipotle marinade is quite like the original savoury marinade, but there is an added touch of smoky flavour from the chipotle peppers. Combine oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and chipotle peppers for a warm and smoky marinade perfect for a day out in the sun.
Grilled spareribs and BBQ in general are extremely popular in Asia as well, so why not try an Asian-inspired teriyaki marinade? The soy sauce, honey, ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar will imbue the meat with savoury, slightly sweet, and tangy flavours and give the ribs an irresistible glaze when grilled.
You could also go with a classic BBQ marinade that will give a familiar rich and sweet flavour profile. We suggest well-balanced ingredients such as tomato ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper.
