Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantities |
|---|---|
| Vinegar | 1 cup |
| Ketchup | 1/2 cup |
| Honey | 1/2 cup |
| Worcestershire Sauce | 2 tablespoons |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Ground Mustard | 1 teaspoon |
| Paprika | 1 teaspoon |
| Garlic Cloves (minced) | 2 |
| Pepper | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Short Rib of Beef | 4 – 5 ribs |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
-
Make the Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, ketchup, honey, Worcestershire sauce, salt, ground mustard, paprika, minced garlic cloves, and pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
-
Simmer the Sauce: Bring the sauce mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. This step allows all those incredible flavors to meld together into a harmonious sauce.
-
Set Aside for Basting: After simmering, reserve 1 cup of the sauce for basting the ribs later on. This reserved sauce will infuse the ribs with even more flavor as they cook.
-
Prepare the Ribs: Place the short ribs in a greased roasting pan, ensuring they’re in a single layer for even cooking. Pour the remaining sauce over the ribs, making sure to coat them generously.
-
Marinate: Cover the roasting pan with foil or a lid, then transfer it to the refrigerator. Let the ribs marinate for at least 2 hours, or if you have the time, let them luxuriate in the sauce for even longer.
-
Prep for Baking: Once the marinating time is up, remove the roasting pan from the refrigerator. Drain off and discard the marinade that the ribs were soaking in.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the ribs in the preheated oven, uncovered, and let them bake for about 1 hour. Keep an eye on them and baste frequently with the reserved sauce. The ribs are ready when they are tender and practically falling off the bone.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once done, take the ribs out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve these saucy delights hot, perhaps with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or your favorite greens. ๐
These Saucy Short Ribs are a delightful mix of tender meat and rich, tangy sauce that will have your taste buds singing with joy. Perfect for a cozy weeknight meal or whenever you’re craving some serious comfort food. Enjoy every succulent bite! ๐โจ
