Ingredients

1 cup water, divided1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce2 tablespoons lemon juice2 tablespoons canola oil1 tablespoon brown sugar1 teaspoon garlic powder1 teaspoon pepper6 bone-in country-style pork ribs (1-1/2 inches thick and 14 ounces each)

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, lemon juice, oil, brown sugar, garlic powder and pepper. Cover and refrigerate 1/2 cup mixture for basting. Pour remaining mixture into a large resealable plastic bag; add the ribs. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

Drain and discard marinade; place ribs and remaining water in a 3-qt. microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 20-25 minutes or until meat is tender.

Drain ribs. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill ribs, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned, basting occasionally with reserved marinade.
