About this Recipe

Craving tender, flavorful ribs that bring the taste of Filipino barbecue home? These Soy Marinated Filipino Short Ribs deliver on that promise, whether you choose to grill them over charcoal for a smoky char or pan-fry them for a quick weeknight meal. Get ready for a delicious journey for your tastebuds.

The magic of these ribs lies in their perfectly balanced sweet soy marinade. With savory soy sauce, a touch of sweetness from brown sugar and banana ketchup, and bright calamansi juice, this marinade infuses every bite of the flanked-style short ribs. This thoughtful blend ensures each rib is incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with complex, authentic Filipino flavors.

When these ribs hit your plate, you'll be greeted by an enticing aroma—a blend of savory soy, sweet caramelization, and bright citrus. Each short rib, infused with the rich marinade, will be wonderfully tender and incredibly juicy. The sweet and savory notes from the soy sauce, brown sugar, and banana ketchup are perfectly balanced by the tangy calamansi or lime juice, creating a truly harmonious flavor profile. Whether you opt for the smoky depth of charcoal grilling or the convenient searing of pan-frying, these ribs deliver a deeply satisfying, authentic Filipino barbecue experience that's both comforting and exciting.

This recipe offers simple ways to adapt to your pantry, ensuring you can enjoy these ribs anytime:

  • Ketchup: If banana ketchup isn't readily available, regular ketchup works just as well, providing a similar sweet and tangy base to the marinade.
  • Citrus: Calamansi juice brings a unique bright acidity, but fresh lime juice is an excellent and easy-to-find substitute that will give the marinade its essential zesty lift.

These flavorful ribs are fantastic for backyard gatherings or a special family dinner. Garnish with fresh, chopped green onions for a vibrant finish, and serve them alongside a bowl of fluffy steamed white rice to soak up all the delicious juices.
