Slow-Cooked BBQ Braised Short Ribs
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 5 pounds lean beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 large onion, cut into thick slices and separated into rings
  • 5 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup barbeque sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat in a substantial, heavy-bottomed cooking vessel that is suitable for oven use. Add the ribs; cook until they develop a rich, caramelized crust on all sides, approximately 5 minutes. During this time, work in batches if the pot becomes too crowded, and sprinkle the ribs with salt and black pepper as they brown.
3
Transfer the browned ribs to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess moisture and allow them to drain.
4
In the same pot, combine the onion rings and carrots; cook and stir until the onions become translucent and start to develop a deep, golden brown color, roughly 8 minutes. Introduce the minced garlic into the pot and cook until it releases its fragrance, approximately 1 minute more.
5
Mix in the tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, and beef broth; bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then let it simmer for 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld together. Add the browned ribs back into the pot.
6
Cover the pot and bake it in the preheated oven until the meat is extremely tender, periodically turning the ribs to ensure even cooking. This process should take around 2 1/2 hours.
7
Before serving, season the ribs with salt and black pepper to enhance their flavor.
