Barbecue Beef Short Ribs

Barbecue Beef Short Ribs are a succulent and flavorful dish, perfect for grilling enthusiasts. Slow-cooked until tender and slathered in a smoky homemade barbecue sauce, they offer a delightful twist on a classic American favorite.

Ingredients

• Beef short ribs - 1 kg
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 3 tablespoons
• Ketchup - 120 ml
• Worcestershire sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Liquid smoke - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 250 ml

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
3. Rub the spice mixture all over the beef short ribs.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke to make the barbecue sauce.
5. In a large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side.
6. Remove the ribs and set aside. In the same pot, add water and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
7. Return the ribs to the pot, pour the barbecue sauce over them, and cover with a lid.
8. Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, until the ribs are tender and the meat is pulling away from the bone.
9. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
