If you’re looking for a dish that balances sweet, savory, and sticky goodness, Honey Teriyaki Ribs are your go-to. Tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs coated in a rich honey-teriyaki glaze make for a show-stopping meal perfect for family dinners, weekend cookouts, or special occasions.
Ingredients
2–3 pounds pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Optional garnish: sesame seeds and chopped green onions
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth. This sweet and savory mix will infuse the ribs with flavor and create a sticky glaze.
Marinate the Ribs
Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs for tenderness.
Place ribs in a large resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over them.
Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
Cook the Ribs
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Place the ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 2.5–3 hours until tender.
Glaze and Broil
Remove the ribs from the oven and brush generously with leftover marinade.
Switch the oven to broil and broil the ribs for 3–5 minutes to caramelize the glaze. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Serve
Slice between the bones and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Pair with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
