Grilled pork ribs with honey sauce

17/11/2023

I can help you prepare a delicious grilled pork with honey sauce. This recipe combines the smoky flavor of grilled meat with the sweetness of honey, creating a truly enjoyable contrast of flavors.

Ingredients for grilled pork

  • Pork ribs or chops (quantity depending on the number of diners)
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Ingredients for the honey sauce

  • 4 tablespoons of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • Chili powder (to taste, to add a spicy touch)

Preparation

  1. First of all, light the barbecue and let it heat up until the coals are glowing red.
  2. In the meantime, prepare the marinade for the meat: in a bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chopped garlic, ginger, paprika, and chili. Make sure the honey dissolves well and that all the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Coat the meat with a little olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. When the barbecue is ready, place the meat on the hot grill and let it cook for a few minutes on one side; then turn it over and cook on the other side. Cooking times vary depending on the thickness of the meat and the desired degree of doneness: for medium doneness, 5-7 minutes per side may be sufficient.
  5. During the last few minutes of cooking, start brushing the meat with the honey sauce, turning it from time to time to prevent it from burning and to allow the sauce to caramelize well on both sides.
  6. Serve the grilled pork hot, perhaps with a side of grilled vegetables or fresh salad.

Fun Fact

Grilled pork is a classic in American barbecue cuisine. The addition of a honey sauce infuses a sweetness that contrasts with the robust pork meat, making it particularly succulent and inviting. Soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, finally, add depth of flavor with sweet and sour notes. Ginger and chili are optional but recommended for those who love bolder flavors and exotic nuances.

Enjoy your meal and have fun with your barbecue!
