Asian Pork Country Ribs

Choose the meatiest, bonniest 'country' ribs you can. Ribs on the bone are always better.

4 meaty pork country ribs

Sauce:

1 Tbsp gochujang paste

1 Tbsp hoisin sauce

1 Tbsp sesame oil

1 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar

1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Heat grill to high. Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Salt and pepper the ribs to taste.

Grill ribs about 2-3 minutes on both sides over highest heat to form noticeable grill marks.

Reduce heat to medium and begin saucing the ribs. Turn the ribs and re-sauce every 2-3 minutes, until the ribs are cooked through - about 10 minutes in total, or until the center reaches 145F for medium. Put a final glaze on the ribs and serve with favorite sides.
