This Father’s Day 2026, treat your dad to a backyard barbecue with this tamarind-glazed pork ribs recipe. You don’t need a fancy barbecue grill for this recipe; instead, you can use one of those foldable or portable charcoal grills (perfect for slow cooking). Some of them come with skewers, some come without; either is okay. All you need to do is prepare the grill and barbecue some pork ribs with a tamarind glaze on them. Involve your dad in it or treat him to your creation with sides of fries, mashed potatoes and a cold salad. Father’s Day 2026 should be an occasion to celebrate the first man in your life, your dad, who might have been one of the few people behind your food preferences. It’s time you got back to him with this pork recipe that is simply too delicious to pass up. These pork ribs are sweet, savoury, and tangy because of the tamarind, pineapple juice, honey, brown sugar and spice powders. The pork produced by this recipe literally falls off the bone when you tug away the bones from the meat. If you can’t find pork ribs, ask your local butcher for pork ribs cut into 2 or 3 rib pieces (small sections of about 10-15 cm each) with some meat attached. While barbecuing the ribs, maintaining moderate heat is more important than having specialised barbecue equipment. So this recipe is not quite difficult, even for first-time grillers, who might be daunted by fancy barbecue grills. Try this recipe and surprise your dad this Father’s Day 2026.

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Preparing the grill for the meat

Light the charcoal and push it to one side of the grill, leaving the other side free of coals. Cover the grill and allow it to reach about 135°C. You will need to put the ribs on the side without coals so they cook through indirect heat.

Slow cooking, on low heat, is the best method for cooking pork ribs. You can use an oven, smoker or a grill and cook for around 3-4 hours for tender meat.
