- Remove the ribs from marinade.
- On a LOW TEMPERATURE wood burning grill or charbroiler, place ribs on the grill and grill slowly until the ribs begin to caramelize.
- Turn the ribs, brush a thin layer of the remaining marinade over the ribs and continue to cook until caramelized on both sides.
- Repeat this process until the rib meat begins to pull away from the bone, while basting with remaining marinade.
- Once ribs begin to become tender place the ribs on a platter and garnish with remaining chopped scallions and micro cilantro.
Note From Kent: The grill needs to be at a low temperature to prevent burning of the sauce.
Also, these ribs would be wonderful served with Green Mango and Chayote Slaw.
