Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.33 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, olive oil, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, onion powder, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper to the liquid mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the water to thin the marinade and ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 4

Place your ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring all surfaces are well coated.

Step 5

Seal the bag (if using a plastic bag) or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and let the ribs marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to maximize flavor.

Step 6

Before cooking, remove the ribs from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to prevent excess burning during the cooking process. Proceed with your preferred cooking method (grilling, smoking, or baking).
