At home we love pork ribs especially if they are seasoned Cuban style with lemon juice, sour orange, garlic and Latin spices. These ribs recipe I am suggesting issimple to make and we are using the charcoal grill to add even more flavor.
No doubt porkback ribs arean excellent choice for Memorial Day celebrations, 4th of July and Father’s Day too. These ribs are very simple to prepare. We have seasoned and marinated them for an hour to then begrilled with charcoal at slow fire to give it that delicious golden color.

Ingredients
- 1 Smithfield Pork Back Ribs
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 cup sour orange juice
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oregano
Instructions
Clean well and remove the membrane located at the back of the ribs. This membrane is easy to remove and it is important to do so that the ribs are even more tender and it is easy to separate them when cooked.
Season the ribs on both sides so that the seasonings are evenly absorbed. And let it marinate inside the refrigerator for an hour.
Prepare the grill and charcoal. And when the charcoal turns white, grill the ribs for 45 minutes. Or until golden brown and the bones of the ribs are exposed at least 1/4.
Let ribs rest for few minutes after taking them out of the grill. And then cut to serve.
Pair the ribs with white rice, beans and homemade taquera sauce.
Notes
If you prefer a classic taste, use the KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce, Tabasco Sauce and even Budweiser beer to flavor your pork back ribs.

We also decided to make a festive table setting inspired with tropical pineapplesand happy colors. All going very well together with the Cuban theme for our special grilling party.
And like every dish we make with pork, we like to pairit with other Cuban cuisine favorites. Such aswhite rice and beans. And since I am Mexican I like to offer homemade spicy salsa, tortillas and avocado slices too.
The spicy homemade salsa I made with grilledcascabel peppers, garlic, tomato and tomatillos. This hot salsa goes perfect with the Grilled Cuban Style Pork Ribs. All my ingredients I bought at Walmart. When you visit the store, buy the Smithfield Pork Back Ribs to organize that special BBQat home next weekend or to celebrate Memorial Day Grilling.
