Ingredients

  • 3 lbs beef chuck short ribs rinsed and dried
  • 1 tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

Spice rub

  • ¼ cup smoked paprika
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • ¼ cup ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt

Garnish

  • sesame seeds
  • parsley finely chopped

Instructions

  • Arrange the beef ribs in a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil
  • Sprinkle liquid smoke and olive oil on ribs. Massage in well.
  • Combine spice rub ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and break down any lumps of sugar with a fork.
  • Cover ribs in foil and leave in the refrigerator for two hours
  • Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Remove ribs from refrigerator and tent in foil. Ensure all openings are sealed to stop heat or steam from escaping.
  • Cook in the oven for 3 hours
  • Remove ribs from oven and open foil. Brush BBQ sauce over ribs
  • We’re going to bake these in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for about 3 ½ hours.
