These BBQ braised short ribs are tender and full of flavor. They are the perfect mix of savory and smoky. The slow braising process makes sure that the meat falls off the bone, which will please any BBQ fan.
Ingredients: 4 lbs beef short ribs. Salt and black pepper to taste. 2 tbsp vegetable oil. 1 large onion, finely chopped. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup beef broth. 1 cup BBQ sauce. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 2 tbsp brown sugar. 1 tbsp Dijon mustard. 1 tsp smoked paprika. 1 tsp dried thyme. 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. 1 cup red wine. Fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: Set the oven to 325F 163C before you start cooking. Add salt and black pepper to the short ribs. In a big pot that can go in the oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. If you need to, work in batches to brown the short ribs on all sides. Take it out and set it aside. Cook the chopped onion in the same pot until it gets soft. After you add the minced garlic, cook for one more minute. Add the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, beef broth, and BBQ sauce. Use a stir to mix. Put the browned short ribs back into the pot and make sure they are covered in the liquid. Add the red wine and bring the whole thing to a simmer. Place the pot in an oven that has already been heated and cover it. For two and a half to three hours, or until the short ribs are soft, braise them. Take it out of the oven and give it a minute or two to cool down. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley. BBQ short ribs should be served with mashed potatoes or your favorite side dish.
