Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the oil, soy sauce and ketchup. Add the black pepper, if desired. Mix well. Place the pork ribs in a pan. Pour the marinade over the ribs and allow them to sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat the grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 3

Place the ribs on the hot grill and allow them to cook for 5 minutes. Turn the ribs, being careful not to puncture the ribs, which would let the juice escape.

Step 4

Grill the ribs for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the ribs reaches 145º Fahrenheit.

Step 5

Allow the pork to rest for 3 minutes, then serve.
