BBQ Beef Short Ribs

If you are craving some BBQ I have a great recipe for you! Beef short ribs are easy to make, tasty, and family friendly. I love this recipe and have made it several times for my family. Hopefully you will try it too and enjoy.




Beef Short Ribs:
2 lbs of boneless beef short ribs
1 jar of your favorite BBQ sauce...I highly recommend Brothers BBQ, which can only be found in Denver, CO but totally worth it. You can order it online. Or if you prefer the easy way, you can go to the grocery store and try the brands Sweet Baby Rays, or Famous Dave's.
1 8oz. can tomato sauce
8oz. water
1 yellow onion diced
1 carrot diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp. chili powder
1 1/2tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1T. good extra virgin olive oil

*Start by taking the meat out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Then pat the meat with a paper towel, this will allow the meat to sear really well. In a dutch oven pour oil in and heat over med-high. Season the meat with the salt, pepper and chili powder. Sear the meat on both sides till nicely browned. Then take out and put on a plate. Toss in the onions and carrot and saute for 2 minutes, then add the garlic. Continue sauteing for 2 minutes more. Scrape the pan with a wooden spoon to bring up the bits from the bottom.
*Add the meat and juices to the pan and then pour the BBQ sauce, tomato sauce and water on top. Swirl around to incorporate. Turn the heat down to low, so it's just barely a simmer. Cover and let cook for 3-4 hours, or until fork tender.
*I love serving this dish with red mashed potatoes, or with fluffy white rice. Also if you can get your kids to choke down some veggies, I love to serve fresh steamed green beans or green peas. Hope you enjoy this as much as our family does!
