Get ready to fire up your grill and enjoy the irresistible smoky flavor of broiled short ribs!

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine BBQ sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Mix well to make the marinade.
  2. Place the short ribs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat your broiler to high heat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
  4. Remove the short ribs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the ribs on the wire rack, leaving some space between each rib.
  5. Season the ribs with salt to taste. Place the baking sheet with the ribs under the broiler, about 4-6 inches from the heat source.
  6. Broil the ribs for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely charred and caramelized. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  7. Once done, remove the ribs from the broiler and transfer them to a serving platter. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  8. Serve the broiled short ribs hot with your favorite BBQ sides and enjoy the delicious smoky flavor!
