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
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat your broiler to high heat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the broiled short ribs hot with your favorite BBQ sides and enjoy the delicious smoky flavor!
