Miso is extremely nutrient-dense and believed to alkalinize the body and stop the effects of carcinogens in the system.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. coriander seeds
1 tsp. dried orange peel
1/4 c. dark brown sugar
2 tbsp. chile powder
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
4 English-cut beef short ribs
2 racks baby back ribs
2 racks spareribs
1 1/2 c. hot red pepper jelly
1/4 c. white miso
1/4 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tbsp. sriracha
Sesame seeds and chopped scallions

Instructions

In a spice grinder, grind the coriander and orange peel. Add the sugar, chile powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1 tablespoon each of salt and pepper; pulse to combine. Rub the spice mix over the ribs and place in a large roasting pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the short ribs in a small baking dish and cover with foil. Roast for 30 minutes.
Put the baby back ribs and spareribs on 2 rimmed baking sheets and cover with foil. Roast all of the ribs until tender, about 2 hours longer. Carefully pour the pan drippings into a medium bowl and skim off the fat. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the drippings and discard the rest.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the pepper jelly with the miso, lemon juice, Sriracha, and the reserved pan juices. Simmer the glaze for 5 minutes, whisking.
Light a grill. Arrange all of the ribs on the grill and cook over moderately high heat, turning and brushing with half of the glaze, until nicely caramelized, about 15 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a work surface. Cut the baby back and spareribs in between the bones and slice the short ribs. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions and serve the ribs with the remaining glaze on the side.
