Ingredients:
- 10 – 12 oz beef short ribs, patted dry
Ingredients for rub:
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. cumin powder
- 3/4 tsp. mustard powder
- 1 tsp. cooking salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
Ingredients for BBQ sauce:
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp. each black pepper, onion powder, mustard powder
- 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups water
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 320 F.
- Make 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. Cover tightly with foil or lid, bake 3 1/2 hours.
- Remove from oven and remove foil. Turn ribs and spoon over sauce. Bake 30 minutes uncovered, spooning over sauce again halfway through, until the surface is caramelized and sticky. Check to ensure ribs are tender — pry a bit apart using two forks.
