Every Sunday over the summer months was BBQ night for my family and my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents would all get together for a big, family feast. One of my favorite dishes at these gatherings was Miami Ribs marinated in my mom’s “secret sauce.” When I moved to the U.S. from Canada, I kept asking the local butcher for Miami Ribs and each time I was met with a look of confusion and told that they did not have them.
I clearly needed my mom’s touch, because a few weeks ago she walked into the butcher and explained exactly what I was looking for to which the butcher responded “Oh, of course, thinly sliced Korean ribs.” Once I knew I could get the ribs, I needed to know more about the sauce. To my surprise this incredible sauce that I loved all these years comes from a bottle and is only available in Canada where I grew up. Tragedy.
But instead of merely accepting this fate, I began experimenting how to develop the perfect marinade. And this past weekend when I hosted my own Sunday night BBQ, guests raved about the ribs and were dying to know more about “Miami Ribs” and the special sauce I was able to recreate.
These ribs are easy for a BBQ night and pair well with any grilled side, including grilled pineapple and asparagus.
