These are the boneless, (not really ribs ) pork chop looking cut, and are delicious, but, need more cooking time than pork chops. You may get one or two that actually have some of the bone still on them, but that’s okay. The ones with a little bone usually cook up more tender and have more flavor.
Marinade Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Juice from can of Pineapple
- 1/2 cup Cola
- 1 Tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger
- 2 Teaspoons Red Wine Vinegar
- Fresh Thyme Sprigs…to taste
- dash of smoked paprika
- Red Chili Flakes…to taste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Mix Together, Add Ribs, Fridge, let Marinate as long as possible.
While they are soaking up all those flavors, you can prepare your choice of barbeque sauce. ( Ribs Will Be Simmered In the Sauce Mixed With the Marinade )
This is the sauce I prepared this time: ( Honey/Mustard ) very tangy!!!
- 1/2 cup canned Pineapple Juice
- 1 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1/2 cup Ketchup, or, for more tangy
- flavor use Catalina French Dressing.
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Teaspoon dried Cayenne Pepper
- 1 Clove Chopped Garlic
- Red Pepper Flakes, Salt and Pepper to taste.
Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. You May Want To Keep Some Back To Baste the Ribs in !
Mix BBQ sauce with Marinade, Ribs, and One Onion, cut four ways, in a grill safe cooking pan ( Foil Pan is Fine ) with foil on top.
Put pan on Grill, simmer 1 hour in sauce, (longer if you like). Keep Grill Temp between 200 ( F ) and 235 ( F ).
Remove Ribs From Pan, and Place on Grill for 3 minutes per side, or to desired results. Basted again, or dried, they are delicious
While the grill was doing all the work outside, I was preparing roasted potatoes in the oven, and tossing the special “Reuben ” style Cole Slaw. Oh, almost forgot, I also cooked a few pineapple rings along with the ribs, popped it all on plates with a couple of Pickled Okra, and the rest is history. Or, at least, this meal is history.
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoyed these. I realize it sounds like a lot of different seasonings, but, believe me they work well together in this dish. I dare to say I tasted each element that went into the meal, in every bite. Till next time, I now have a little clean up to do, so, have a blessed day, and don’t eat too much.
Fantastic marinade – all such wonderful flavours for the ribs.
Have a super day.
:-) Mandy

Thanks for dropping by, Caroline. They were pretty good, only to be honest it was the first time I tried the mustard based sauce on them, and I’ll stick to my spicy vinaigrette ribs next time. Some folks like the Honey Mustard thing though.

Love ribs! We always add Coca-Cola to our ribs…really creates a delicious, sweet sauce and tender meat. These sound delicious, Paul.

Those ribs look incredibly edible. Would never have thought of marinating meat in cola. I thought people used cola to clean copper coins

Yeah, it works great as a meat tenderizer. You should see my stomach lining….well, maybe you wouldn’t really want to see that…But, they say it will chew a 16 penny nail apart in a few days.
Adds sweetness, even though I used half of my Pepsi Max Diet drink in this one.Cause those ribs were Pig, I put em on a diet. Not that it helped much with all the other sweeteners involved,
Anyway, God Bless you and thanks for stopping by again.
Oh, by the way…you know Timethief? One of the moderators, or, information people @ wordpress forums? Anyway, ran into where she had left a comment on another persons site who was writing about how “Mean” Geese are.
Timethief told a story of how one Gander chased her around the barn yard biting her butt, till she had to actually get stitches in her BUTT! . I said, T.T., that may have not been a Goose at all, but rather this fellow here: That nurse good-body wrote about.
God Bless
Ciao (If you know Timethief much at all, well you can check back maybe this time tomorrow to see if I’m still online) mean time, maybe some folks will click it here. ( Timethiefs not really that bad )

I love how you specify this is the sauce you made this time. I haven’t tried cola in my marinade before but I see it’d help make the meat tender. Great recipe and post.

Thank You …they were pretty good…I’m actually FROM Carolina, where they SAY Mustard based ( Pork Barbeque Sauces) are big, but, around here we usually make the spicier, more vinaigrette style for pork, so I just thought I would try my hand at making a mustard style sauce, with the ingredients I had on hand. Too be honest, I’ll stick with my vinegar, tomato, wine based one. God Bless

Yeah, me too. I can’t eat them as often as I used to though. Not the way I grew up eating them anyway. Everything gets fried down here. I think it’s because of heavy Scottish roots. No pun intended on the Heavy Part…unless it’s “Heavy on the lard”

Shouldn’t be too hard…Talk “O” Texas is the brand I prefer…the one with the Cayenne peppers in the bottom of the jar. Should be over on the pickle isle for most any super market. I have made them myself, but, can never get them as crisp as the Talk “O” Texas ones…Probably not adding enough chemicals…lol Oh well, going to die of something.
