Photo: Downhome Barbecue Beef Short Ribs Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 pounds beef short ribs, cut across the bone
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup brown mustard
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon granulated onion
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Fill a large stockpot with water and bring to a boil. Add the ribs, garlic cloves and bay leaf. Parboil the ribs, covered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until fork tender.
In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients. Pour 1 cup of the rib water into the mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for approximately 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened and is heated through. Add the ribs to the pot, turning with tongs to coat well. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the ribs to a hot outdoor grill, meat side down first, and cook 8 to 10 minutes on each side, taking care not to burn them. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.

Big hit with all! I always use more garlic & cayenne, but great sauce and tender ribs, finished over mesquite charcoal.

When tasting the sauce while making it, I thought it was too mustardy, but I continued on making the recipe exactly as written. It was actually a deliciously different alternative to standard bbq sauces. The sauce cooked into the meat mellows, and the extra bit you brush on at the table while eating these hot off the grill adds just the perfect amount of pop! My husband and I really enjoyed these!
