Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Season: Mix the spices in a small bowl. Place the ribs in a large bowl and coat them with the oil. Sprinkle the spice mixture on top and season rub the beef ribs all over.
  2. Assemble the dish: Mix the BBQ sauce and the water in a baking dish that would fit the ribs in a single layer without too much space between them (they will shrink during baking). Place the ribs on top and turn them a couple of times through the sauce. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
  3. Bake covered for 3 ½ hours at 300°F/150°C.
  4. Bake uncovered: Remove the foil. Turn the ribs in the sauce (they will fall off the bone already, so do it gently) and spoon some sauce over the ribs. Bake for another 30 minutes until the top of the ribs is darker, slightly caramelized, and sticky.

Notes

  • Beef short ribs are usually sold pre-cut in individual meaty pieces. If you can only get a rack or ribs, ensure you remove the silver skin and then cut the rack between the bones into single ribs using a sharp, sturdy knife.
  • You can replace the homemade rub with your favorite store-bought dry rub for ribs/ beef. Just salt and pepper are fine as well.
  • Your favorite BBQ sauce brand.
