Description

Flanken beef ribs cooked hot and fast right over the fire with a Greek-style marinade and a butter baste the whole way. You get a real good char on the outside with rich, beefy flavor and juicy bites all the way through.

Ingredients

Marinade Recipe

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Malcom’s Gyro Hero Greek Seasoning
  • 3/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Butter Baste Recipe

Instructions

  1. Season the ribs
    – Season flanken ribs evenly on all sides with light coat of AP Seasoning and then medium coat of Gyro Hero Greek seasoning.
  2. Marinade and soak
    – Whisk together parsley, lemon juice, honey, garlic, Greek seasoning, red wine vinegar, and olive oil until combined.
    – Add ribs and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Prepare the grill and butter baste
    – Set up a charcoal grill with a two-zone fire (hot direct side and cooler indirect side).
    – Melt butter and stir in Greek seasoning, lemon juice, and parsley. Keep warm for basting.
  4. Cook over direct heat (burn & turn)
    – Remove ribs from marinade and place directly over hot coals in batches.
    – Cook about 2 minutes per side, flipping often.
    – Baste with butter between flips and allow flare-ups to hit the meat.
    – Continue turning until the ribs develop deep caramelization with light char on the edges.
  5. Move to indirect heat
    – As each batch finishes, move ribs to the cool side of the grill, stacking loosely while remaining ribs cook.
  6. Finish and serve
    – Once all ribs are on the indirect side, close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes.
    – Remove from grill and serve immediately with a light squeeze of lemon and optional fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Burn and Turn matters – Stay with the ribs the whole time. Flip them often and don’t let them sit too long on one side or they’ll burn instead of building good char.
  • Don’t skip the marinade time – Give the ribs at least a few hours, but overnight is best. That’s what helps tenderize the meat and get that Greek flavor all the way through.
  • Butter baste is the key – Baste with butter every time you flip. It builds flavor, helps the ribs caramelize, and keeps them from drying out over the fire.
  • Expect flare-ups – Cooking directly over the coals will cause flare-ups. That’s what you want. Just keep turning the ribs so they get flame-kissed and don’t burn.

Next time you’re cooking over a hot fire, this is a good one to throw on the grill. Stay on them, keep flipping, and let the flames do their thing. That’s how you get that good char and flavor in every bite.
