Treat your ingredients with care...

• Beef ribs — Choose well-marbled ribs for maximum flavor and tenderness. Trim any excess fat before marinating.

Tips & Tricks

• For a smokier flavor, add wood chips or chunks to the grill while cooking the beef ribs.
• Let the beef ribs rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
• Adjust the amount of garlic and spices in the marinade according to your personal preference.

Serving advice

Presentation advice
