Portuguese pork ribs – Entrecosto assado no forno

Alternative preparation on the grill – Entrecosto grelhado

The ribs should reach room temperature before grilling. A charcoal grill produces the best flavor, but a gas grill with a lid also works.

  • Preheat grill to medium heat
  • Grill ribs for about 30–45 minutes, depending on thickness
  • Turn occasionally and brush with the remaining marinade
  • If necessary, place briefly directly over the embers to intensify the crust

Side dishes and serving suggestions

In Portugal, Entrecosto assado no forno is often served with simple side dishes that enhance the flavor of the meat:

  • Batatas a murro (mashed baked potatoes with olive oil and garlic)
  • Green salad with vinegar and oil dressing
  • Portuguese rice with garlic
  • Piri-piri sauce for a little spice

A glass of Portuguese red wine, such as a Vinho Regional from Alentejo or Dão, perfectly rounds off the dish.
