Description
Experience restaurant-quality beef short ribs prepared with a robust, smoky dry rub and finished with a rich, molasses-infused glaze. This slow-cooked method relies on the natural breakdown of collagen at low temperatures to ensure fall-off-the-bone tenderness and a perfect caramelized crust. Entirely pork-free and alcohol-free, this is the ultimate centerpiece for any barbecue enthusiast seeking a savory, succulent, and certified halal dining experience at home.
Ingredients
4 lbs beef short ribs
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup halal-certified BBQ sauce
Instructions
Remove the silver skin membrane from the underside of the ribs.
Pat the ribs thoroughly dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
Massage the spice rub evenly over all surfaces of the ribs.
Preheat your oven or smoker to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil to create a seal.
Slow-cook for 4 hours until the beef is very tender.
Remove from the foil and brush generously with the BBQ sauce.
Finish in the oven or smoker for 15-20 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Notes
Ensure your BBQ sauce is verified as non-alcoholic and halal. For the best result, let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving. If using a smoker, fruit woods like apple or hickory work exceptionally well with beef.
