By using a dry spice rub of smoked paprika and aromatics, then slow-roasting until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit, you achieve succulent meat that effortlessly pulls away from the bone. This method creates a rich, flavor-packed meal perfect for any special gathering, ensuring professional-level results right in your own kitchen without needing a smoker.
Ingredients
4 lbs English-style beef short ribs
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1.5 cups alcohol-free BBQ sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the silver skin membrane from the bone side of the beef ribs using a butter knife.
Pat the ribs completely dry with paper towels to ensure the dry rub adheres properly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Apply the seasoning rub generously over all sides of the beef ribs.
Place ribs in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Cover tightly with foil to create a steam seal and roast for 4 hours.
Remove foil, brush with BBQ sauce, and increase heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes or until glazed.
Notes
Ensure your BBQ sauce is verified free of alcohol and pork derivatives. If you have extra time, let the ribs rest for 15 minutes before serving to lock in the juices. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
