Rib Marinade Recipe
This homemade Rib Marinade is made with only 10 real, simple ingredients and will take your ribs, no matter how they are cooked, to the next level!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup soy sauce sub Tamari for gluten-free
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine: In a small bowl, add ⅓ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons garlic, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and a pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Prep Ribs: Pat ribs dry with clean paper towel. Place them meat side down, on a baking sheet. Using a small knife, gently lift off the corner of the membrane (a layer of thin connective tissue) and gently pull to remove.
- Marinate: Place ribs in 9x13 baking dish and pour marinade over top - rub marinade all over ensuring it covers every nook and cranny. Cover and let marinate 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Cook Ribs: Remove from marinade (discard excess) and cook your ribs your favorite way - we love grilled ribs, oven baked ribs and smoked baby back ribs!
Notes
- Yield: This makes enough to marinate 2 racks of ribs.
- Gluten-Free: sub Tamari or coconut aminos for the soy sauce to make this gluten-free.
- Overnight: the recipe card notes to let the ribs marinate for at least 30-60 minutes, but if you have the time you can let them sit overnight for maximum juiciness!
- Storage: option to prep these ahead of time and let them marinate overnight in the fridge or in freezer-safe bags in the freezer for up to 3 months. Then just thaw in the fridge and cook any way you want!
