JANE'S BARBECUED SHORT RIBS



Jane's Barbecued Short Ribs image

A recipe I got from an dear friend many, many years ago, who got it from her mother. Very easy, and wonderful flavor. Good in the summer and even better in the winter on a cold night. Can also cook it in the slow cooker. Then when you come home from work, all you have to do is either grill or broil them to brown them before serving. Serve with mashed potatoes or potato salad or egg noodles.

KOREAN BARBECUED SHORT RIBS



Korean Barbecued Short Ribs image

Flanken ribs refers to beef ribs which have been sawed across the bone to make 1/4-inch-thick strips about 6 inches long. If you can't find this cut, use any thin strips of tender beef.

Provided by Vicki Butts (lazyme)

Categories     Beef

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb korean-style beef short ribs (also called flanken ribs)
1 tsp cornstarch (dissolved in 2tsp water)
MARINADE:
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp minced ginger
4 tsp toasted sesame seeds, crushed
1/2 c chicken broth
1/3 c soy sauce
1/4 c dry sherry or chinese rice wine
2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the ribs, stir to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
  • 2. Lift the ribs from the marinade and drain them briefly; reserve the marinade.
  • 3. Place the ribs on a greased grill 3 to 4 inches above a solid bed of low-glowing coals (or place them 2 to 3 inches below the heat on a rack in a broiler pan).
  • 4. Cook, turning once, until done to your liking, 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • 5. Meanwhile, bring the leftover marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until the sauce boils and thickens.
  • 6. Transfer the ribs to a serving platter, pour the sauce over the ribs, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Select short ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or bony.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and will make them more tender.
  • Season the ribs: Season the ribs with a rub of your choice. A simple rub made with salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good option. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Cook the ribs: Cook the ribs over indirect heat for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. You can cook the ribs on a grill, in an oven, or in a smoker.
  • Sauce the ribs: Once the ribs are cooked, you can sauce them with your favorite barbecue sauce. You can also brush the ribs with honey or maple syrup for a sweeter flavor.

Conclusion:

Barbecued short ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your short ribs turn out perfect every time. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
