BBQ short ribs

Prepare melt-in-the-mouth BBQ short ribs, one of all time favorites for the barbecue season.

Ingredients

2 t salt (optional)
3⁄4 c onion (chopped)
1 T cooking oil (vegetable oil)
1⁄2 c honey (or corn syrup)
1⁄3 c lemon juice
2 T mustard
1⁄2 t pepper
1 T herbs (optional, dried herbs)
4 lb beef (beef short ribs, fat trimmed)

Instructions

  1. Place ribs and salt in 4-qt. saucepan or Dutch oven. Cover with water, bring to a boil. Cover the pan; simmer 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until tender.
  2. Prepare the sauce while the ribs cook. Sauté onion in oil until tender. Add remaining ingredients; simmer 15 minutes.
  3. Drain ribs. Place on rack in broiler pan or over ash-colored coals on outdoor grill so meat is 6 to 7 inches from heat.
  4. Barbecue, grill or broil ribs, turning occasionally and basting with the sauce, until slightly toasted on the surface.
  5. Serve.
