Introduction:

These Hawaiian BBQ Short Ribs with grilled pineapple combine savory and sweet flavors for a tropical twist on traditional BBQ ribs. The dish is easy to prepare and perfect for grilling or slow cooking. The combination of tender beef ribs and caramelized pineapple makes it an irresistible summer favorite.

Ingredients:

• 2 to 3 lbs beef short ribs
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch fresh ginger, grated
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until sugar is dissolved.
2. Marinate the Ribs: Place short ribs in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Grill the Pineapple: Heat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Lightly brush pineapple chunks with vegetable oil. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the pineapple caramelizes. Set aside.
4. Cook the Ribs: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove ribs from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Grill the ribs for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are nicely charred and cooked through.
   • Alternatively, you can slow cook the ribs in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours until tender.
5. Serve: Serve the grilled ribs with caramelized pineapple chunks. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired.

Conclusion:

These Hawaiian Pineapple Short Ribs offer a delicious blend of savory and sweet, with tender ribs and juicy grilled pineapple. The tropical marinade adds a deep flavor to the meat, making it perfect for summer barbecues or a slow-cooked meal any time of year.
