What are short ribs?
Short ribs are a cut of beef taken from the brisket, chuck, plate, or rib areas of beef cattle. They consist of a short portion of the rib bone and the surrounding meat, which varies in thickness.
Whats the difference between short ribs and beef ribs?
Short ribs are cut from the lower portion of the rib cage in the front section of the cow. Short ribs are directly beneath the back ribs. The little meat on beef back ribs is between the bones, and beef short ribs have meat atop the bones.

Ingredients
For the Rub:
3 lbs meaty beef ribs (grass-fed)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
1 tbsp dark brown sugar packed
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
2 teaspoons oregano
For the BBQ Sauce:
1 cup ketchup
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne powder, or to taste
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp ground allspice
1/8 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp ground cumin.
BBQ Sauce Instructions:
Combine ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, paprika, chili powder, cayenne, black pepper, allspice, coriander, and cumin in a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly.
Instructions
Dry the ribs with paper towels.
Lightly coat ribs in olive oil.
Mix together seasoning and sprinkle generously over ribs, front and back.
Massage the spices into the ribs.
Cover the mixing bowl and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 250 F.
Place the ribs on a foil-lined baking tray in a single layer.
Add another piece of foil on top to create a pouch for the ribs to cook in. Be sure to seal the edges of the foil so that it's tight and steam won't seep out.
Bake on the middle rack for 3 hours.
When the ribs are done to your liking, drain off the excess fat.
Brush the ribs with the desired amount of BBQ sauce.
Broil on low until the sauce is sticky, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy your Oven Baked BBQ Short Ribs!
Buen Provecho!
