Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless beef short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced, or 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey / maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional

Method
 

  1. Trim excess fat from the short ribs, leaving about 1/4 inch. Mix the olive oil, garlic, brown sugar and all the spices into a paste and massage it into the meat. Marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.
  2. Set up the grill for two-zone cooking: one side on high heat (about 450°F) and the other side unlit, or coals piled on one side for a charcoal grill.
  3. Sear the ribs over direct heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side until well caramelized, watching closely so the sugar does not burn.
  4. Move the ribs to the indirect side, close the lid and cook 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they reach 130-135°F for medium-rare or 140-145°F for medium.
  5. Rest the ribs under loosely tented foil for 7 to 10 minutes, then slice against the grain into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices.
