Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds Bone in -Beef short ribs, cut in between the bones English style cut
  • 2 teaspoon Kosher salt If using table salt, use half the amount as it is more concentrated.
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.5 teaspoon Coarse ground pepper
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cut off any extra fat if preferred.
  • Combine salt, pepper and garlic powder to make the dry rub for the ribs.
  • Line a baking sheet with a couple sheets of foil. Place the ribs on the foil sheets.
  • Dry the beef ribs completely with a paper towel
  • Season both sides of the ribs generously with the dry rub. Turn the ribs meat side up on the foil.
  • Fold the foil over, making sure to seal it tightly at the top. This prevents any juices from leaking.
  • Place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven. Roast for 3 hours. Check the ribs at the 3 hour mark, if meat is fork tender and pulls off the bone easily, it is done cooking. If not, add more time.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven, use tongs to open the foil and discard the foil. Place the ribs on a clean sheet of foil and roasting pan.
  • Brush ribs with your choice of barbecue sauce.
  • Broil the beef ribs for 5-8 minutes, rotating the ribs as needed to get a nice char.
  • Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes and serve with additional BBQ sauce as needed.

Notes
