How To Make Delicious Barbecue Ribs In The Oven

Barbecue Beef Short Ribs

Ingredients:

• 4 pounds beef short ribs
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 cups barbecue sauce, plus more for basting and serving

Directions:

1. Place beef short ribs in a large oven-safe dish. Rub generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and onion powder on all sides. Place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight, or at least for a few hours.
2. Remove the beef from the refrigerator and let rest for about an hour at room temperature. Preheat your oven to 225 F degrees.
3. Pour barbecue sauce over the short ribs and let a little bit drip into in the bottom of the pan. Cover loosely with tinfoil, then place in the oven.
4. Every hour, check the beef and baste with extra barbecue sauce and any accumulating juices from the bottom of the pan. The total cook time will be between 3 1/2 to 4 hours, so be sure to baste 3 to 4 times.
5. Beef short ribs are done when the meat is tender and falling off the bones. When the meat is cool enough to handle, cut the meat from the bone, and remove any cartilage and excess fat. Serve with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
