Ribs are a real delicacy for meat lovers. A properly prepared product turns out to be juicy and tasty. And if you use a multicooker for this, then the culinary process will take a minimum of time.
The taste of the cooked meat dish depends not only on the quality of the product, but also on the marinade. Ribs are not a healthy food if consumed daily. They are high in calories. But sometimes you can pamper yourself.
Secrets of a Successful Rib Marinade
The success of a meat dish depends in part on the marinade in which it is infused before cooking. In order for the marinade to reveal the taste of the ribs, you need to know how to cook it correctly.
There are a few tricks for this:
- Fresh herbs are best added when serving. Cilantro, dill, parsley are especially suitable for ribs.
- If lean ribs are caught, then marinate in oil or mayonnaise. For a fatty product, mustard or honey is more suitable.
- Young meats can be marinated simply with a spice mixture. For a hard type, a liquid marinade is more suitable.
- The more the meat is marinated, the softer it becomes. In addition, it will take less time to prepare.
- A wide variety of spices are perfect for ribs - pepper, cloves, rosemary.
- Garlic and onions will give the ribs a special aroma and rich taste.
You should always choose a marinade based on the fat content and type of meat, from where and how it will be cooked. Then the dish will turn out to be tastier, more aromatic, with notes of fragrant spices.
Ribs marinade options
To make the meat tasty, it must be prepared for heat treatment. For this, there are options for marinades for every taste:
- Honey marinade with mustard. We take a bowl and put 2 tablespoons of mustard in it. You can use grain, it is more tender. Add 2 tablespoons of honey to it. It is better if it is liquid, without a pronounced taste. Be sure to salt to taste and add black pepper. The mixture is ready. She needs to carefully grate the ribs and put them in the refrigerator. After three hours, the meat can be cooked.
- Marinade based on mayonnaise. You can choose a light version or a high fat percentage. Put the mayonnaise in a bowl. Take a few cloves of garlic and peel them. Then we crush each with the flat side of a knife, add it to the mayonnaise. Salt and pepper everything to taste. Fill the ribs with marinade so that they are well greased with the mixture. Cover the bowl with cling film, so the meat is better saturated. We send it to the refrigerator for at least two hours. If you cook the ribs in a slow cooker, then along with them you can put the garlic in a bowl. When frying in a pan, it is better to remove it. It will be very easy to do this, since we crushed it, not crushed it.
- Soy sauce based marinade. We take a few cloves of garlic, peel and chop finely. Transfer to a bowl. We clean the ginger root and grate it three. Add to the garlic. Pour 2 tablespoons of soy sauce into a bowl. All this is salt, sugar and pepper. Pour in the spices for the meat. Mix the marinade well and pour the pork ribs with it. We insist in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
It is advisable to marinate the ribs for at least a few hours. They should be saturated with the aroma of spices and other ingredients. Overexposing meat in the marinade is also not worth it. This will make it loose, causing it to lose its shape and taste.

How to choose quality ribs
The taste of the dish prepared from it depends on the quality of the meat product. A few tips for choosing meat:
- Buy homemade meat from a trusted vendor. It is better to do this in the market or in specialized stores.

- Take a look at the appearance of the product. A gray layer of fat indicates that the meat is stale.
- Feel the meat. Fresh product has a smooth surface without any roughness. If, when you press on it, any liquid is released and it sticks to your hands, then this is a missing product.
An important condition is that when choosing meat, look at it, smell and feel it. This will help identify a good product.
