That’s why today we’re sharing three mouthwatering grilled meat recipes that are sure to impress your taste buds and make your summer evenings even more unforgettable.

1. BBQ Marinated Ribs

Ingredients:
– 1 kg pork ribs
– 1/2 cup of ketchup
– 1/4 cup of soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
– 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
– 1 teaspoon of paprika
– 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix together the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, chopped garlic, paprika, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
2. Clean the ribs by trimming off excess fat and removing the membrane.
3. Place the ribs in a large freezer bag or a shallow dish and pour the prepared marinade over them.
4. Refrigerate the ribs for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the meat to absorb the full flavor.
5. Preheat the grill to medium heat and cook the ribs for about 30–40 minutes, turning them frequently and basting with the remaining marinade, until they are tender and juicy.

– Salt and pepper to taste
– Marinade (optional)

Instructions:

1. Soak the skewers in water to prevent them from burning during grilling.

3. Thread the chicken and vegetable pieces onto the skewers, alternating them.
