Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork ribs
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes (optional), and pineapple juice. Mix well to create the marinade.
2. Place the pork ribs in a large ziplock bag or a sealable container. Pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure they are fully coated. Seal the bag or container, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the ribs from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting.
4. Grill the ribs for approximately 10 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and slightly charred. Baste the ribs with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling to add extra flavor.
5. Once the ribs are cooked and tender, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
6. Serve the Filipino Ribs hot and enjoy with steamed rice and your favorite side dishes.
