Categories     Mains

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 x 300 - 350g / 10 - 12 oz beef ribs ((aka beef short ribs) (Note 1), patted dry)
1 tbsp brown sugar ((sub white))
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder ((sub 1 tsp fresh garlic))
1 tsp onion powder ((sub garlic powder))
1/2 tsp cumin powder
3/4 tsp mustard powder ((Note 2))
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 garlic cloves (, minced (sub 2 tsp powder))
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar ((Note 2 subs))
1 1/2 cups ketchup (, or Aussie tomato sauce)
1/2 cup brown sugar (, loosely packed (ie don't pack it tight)(sub white))
2 tsp EACH black pepper, onion powder, mustard powder ((Note 2))
1 tsp cayenne pepper ((adjust to taste re: spiciness))
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce ((sub soy sauce))
2 cups water
Parsley or chives (, chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F (all oven types).
  • Mix Rub in a small bowl large, enough to fit one rib.
  • Press beef ribs into the rub, coating all sides. Shake off excess.
  • Mix Barbecue Sauce ingredients, except water, in a baking pan. Then mix in water.
  • Place ribs in sauce, turning to coat. Arrange meat side down in the sauce, bone side exposed (sauce won't cover completely, that's ok).
  • Cover tightly with foil or lid, bake 3 1/2 hours.
  • Remove from oven, remove foil. Turn ribs (some may have fall over, that's ok, just turn them). Spoon over sauce.
  • Bake 30 minutes uncovered, spooning over sauce again halfway through, until surface is caramelised and sticky. Check to ensure ribs are tender - pry a bit apart using two forks. (If not, cover and return to oven, but after 4 hrs they certainly should be!)
  • Remove ribs onto serving plate (use a spoon as meat will barely be attached to bone, if at all). Mix sauce to bring together (Note 3 on adjustments). Serve with ribs!

SLOW-BAKED BBQ SHORT RIBS



Slow-Baked BBQ Short Ribs image

BBQ short ribs make an easy dinner that pleases kids and adults alike.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 3h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds boneless beef short ribs, cut into 4-inch long pieces
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup ketchup
¾ cup dark brown sugar, packed
1½ tablespoons cider vinegar
1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
1½ teaspoons chili powder
¾ teaspoons garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • Season the ribs all over with salt and pepper, then arrange in a 9x13-inch baking dish (it will be a tight squeeze).
  • Combine all of the ingredients for the BBQ sauce in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
  • Pour ⅓ of the sauce (about ½ cup) over the ribs. Using tongs, flip the ribs over and spoon another ⅓ of the sauce over top. Reserve the remaining BBQ sauce to spoon over the cooked ribs. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast for 2½ hours. Remove the foil and, if the cooking liquid is covering the meat, use a large spoon or ladle to remove some of the liquid so that the tops are exposed. (Note: the meat will look unappetizing at this stage; don't worry, it will look much better once it's done!) Cook for 30 minutes more, uncovered, until the meat is tender and browned. Cut off any excess fat that remains around the short ribs. Transfer the short ribs to a serving platter. Discard the cooking liquid, as it will be very greasy. Slather the reserved BBQ sauce over the short ribs and serve.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The ribs can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat them tightly covered with foil in a 300°F oven until heated through.

BEER-BRAISED SHORT RIBS



Beer-braised short ribs image

Sticky, tender beef ribs with a subtle oak-smoked flavour are sure to be a hit at your next barbecue

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 meaty beef short ribs (about 3kg/6lb 8oz), see tips
75ml sunflower oil
3 onions , thickly sliced
450ml hoppy American-style craft lager (try Point Amber, available from ocado.com, or Samuel Adams Boston lager, widely available)
700ml good-quality chicken stock
140g black treacle
small bunch thyme
50g burnt oak wood chips , tied in a muslin bag (optional, see tip)
100g ketchup
100g American mustard
75g brown sauce
2 tbsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp toasted cumin seeds
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp cracked black pepper
6 tbsp sunflower oil

Steps:

  • First, make the marinade. Mix the spices and 3 tbsp salt in a bowl, then stir in the oil to make a paste. Use a knife to make a deep hole in each short rib, then rub the spice mix all over and into the hole, working the flavour into the meat. Place on a tray, cover and chill overnight.
  • The next day, heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Heat the oil in a large, shallow pan, tip in the onions and fry until you start to get a deep, rich colour - about 20 mins. Don't be scared of the colour, this will add amazing savoury sweetness to the dish. Pour in the beer and boil to reduce by half, then add the stock, treacle, thyme and oak chips, if using. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Place the marinated short ribs in your largest roasting tin. Pour over the onion and beer braising liquid, then cover tightly with foil. Transfer to the oven and cook the short ribs for 5 hrs or until really tender.
  • Once the ribs are cooked, remove and put on a plate to rest and cool. Strain the braising liquid into a saucepan. Once settled, use a ladle to remove the top layer of fat, then set over a high heat. Simmer the sauce until it becomes rich and glossy, then whisk in the ketchup, mustard and brown sauce.
  • To barbecue the ribs, heat your coals until ashen or set a gas barbecue to medium. Cook the ribs until nicely charred and hot all the way through, then baste with the sauce to finish and cook until sticky. To cook them indoors, heat the grill. Set a wire rack over an oven tray and place the ribs on top. Baste well with the sauce and grill, basting with the sauce a few times, until it forms a charred, sticky crust. Set aside to rest before serving with the onion rings and slaw (see Goes well with).

GARLIC BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE



Garlic Braised Short Ribs With Red Wine image

If you weren't already sure about how easy and delicious braised short ribs can be, consider this classic and straightforward recipe an excellent gateway. The ultimate hands-off, do-ahead dinner, these are done on the stovetop in a large Dutch oven but can easily be adapted to a slow cooker if that's your thing. When purchasing the ribs, ask for the thickest, meatiest ones available as they tend to shrink quite a bit once braised.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     meat, soups and stews, main course

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 pounds bone-in short ribs, at least 1 1/2 inches thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large heads garlic, halved crosswise
1 medium onion (about 10 ounces), chopped
4 ribs celery (about 8 ounces, chopped
2 medium carrots (about 6 ounces), chopped
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups dry red wine (about half a bottle)
2 cups beef stock or bone broth (use beef bouillon dissolved in water if unavailable; chicken stock will work in a pinch), plus more as needed
4 sprigs thyme
1 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped chives
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 275 degrees. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer browned short ribs to a large plate and continue with remaining ribs.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of remaining fat, leaving the good browned bits behind. Reduce heat to medium, and add garlic, cut side down and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and continue to cook until vegetables are softened but not yet browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato paste has started to caramelize a bit on the bottom and up the edges of the pot, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add red wine and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned or caramelized bits. Let this simmer 2 to 3 minutes, just to take the edge off and reduce a bit. Stir in beef stock along with thyme. Using tongs, return short ribs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, nestling them in there so that they are submerged (if they are just barely covered, nestle them bone side up so that all the meat is submerged, adding more beef stock or water as necessary to cover). Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven.
  • Cook, undisturbed, until short ribs are meltingly tender and falling off the bone (you should be able to shred the meat with a fork), 3½ to 4 hours.
  • Using tongs, remove the ribs from the pot, taking care (for presentation purposes, really) not to let the bone slip out and transfer them to a large plate. (While you could serve the short ribs right out of this pot, the vegetables have all given up their flavor and texture and aren't worth much now, so feel free to strain the sauce for easier eating.) Scatter parsley, chives and lemon zest over the top of the short ribs. Separate the fat from the sauce, season with salt and pepper and serve alongside.
