Ingredients
- 4 short ribs
- 200g fresh okra
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., thyme or parsley)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Place the short ribs in a large dish and pour the mustard marinade over them. Make sure each rib is well coated.
- Cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- While the ribs are marinating, wash the okra and trim the ends. Toss the okra with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the marinated short ribs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked to a safe temperature.
- In the last 10 minutes of grilling the ribs, add the okra to the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Once the short ribs and okra are done, remove them from the grill and let the ribs rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the grilled short ribs and okra on a platter, garnished with fresh herbs.
Enjoy this wholesome and flavorful meal with your family, celebrating the joy of fresh, seasonal ingredients and the pleasure of cooking together. Happy grilling!
