Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon corn starch
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • About 4 pounds bone-in short ribs
  • 3/4 cup BBQ Sauce of your choice or my Homemade BBQ Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Cointreau or orange juice

Instructions

  1. Take the short ribs out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before baking them.
  2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Combine the ingredients for the Dry Rub BBQ Seasoning.  Sprinkle the seasoning on each side of the short ribs, especially on the meaty side.
  4. Place the seasoned short ribs on a disposable baking tray.  Cover the ribs with foil and bake for 3 hours.
  5. In a small dish, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, and Cointreau.
  6. Transfer the short ribs to a second disposable baking tray.  Dispose of the first tray since it will be full of fat.

  7. Glaze the short ribs with the BBQ sauce mixture and return them to oven.  Bake uncovered for an additional hour, or until a knife can be inserted with little resistance.
