Categories main-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 pounds beef short ribs
4 ancho chiles
4 chiles de arbol (optional)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
4 cloves garlic
1/2 tablespoon powdered cumin seed
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup cooking oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Score the ribs by slicing them at 1/4-inch intervals 1 way and then the other across the fatty tops, as if you were setting up a crossword puzzle.
Remove the seeds and stems from the chiles, soak them in hot water for 20 minutes, drain and place them in a blender jar. Add the oregano, garlic, cumin, vinegar, oil and salt. Blend the mixture for 1 minute. (if the mixture is too thick to blend properly, add a little water and continue). Pour the chile sauce over the ribs and marinate, refrigerated for 2 hours.
Cook the ribs at 2 to 2 1/2 feet from mesquite coals for 1 to 2 hours or until they are tender. If your barbecue will not accommodate this distance cook the ribs over very low direct heat, or in a Texas style smoker.

Tips:

To make the chile verde sauce, blend tomatillos, onions, garlic, and peppers until smooth. For a more flavorful sauce, roast the tomatillos and peppers before blending.
Use a variety of chiles to create a sauce with different levels of heat. For a milder sauce, use poblano peppers. For a spicier sauce, use serrano or habanero peppers.
Add a bit of acidity to the sauce with lime juice or vinegar. This will help to balance out the heat of the chiles.
Season the ribs liberally with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. This will take about 2-3 hours in a slow cooker or oven.
Serve the ribs with the chile verde sauce, rice, and beans. You can also add a dollop of guacamole or sour cream.
