Dry Rub

  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

  • 2 tbsp dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • 2/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

Instructions
 

  • Combine all dry rub ingredients in a small bowl, set aside
  • Lightly coat beef short ribs with olive oil
  • Generously season both sides of beef short ribs with dry rub mixture
  • Place ribs in covered dish or ziploc bag, and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 250F
  • Remove ribs from refrigerator and place on foil lined baking sheet. Cover ribs completely with another piece of foil and seal the edges so that no steam can escape
  • Bake for 3 1/2-4 hours. Carefully open the foil. Using a meat thermometer, take the temperature in between the bones. Ideal temperature should be about 200°F. (see above)
  • Remove from oven and drain excess fat.
  • If desired, lightly brush ribs with favorite BBQ sauce or homemade BBQ sauce recipe (above). Place back into the oven and broil on high for about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the short ribs to a platter, leaving the cooking liquid behind, and slather with the reserved BBQ sauce.
