Ingredients

FOR THE RIBS:

  • 6 1/2 pounds Flanken Style Short Ribs
  • 1 bunch fresh Thyme 10 - 12 sprigs
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bottle beer or can (like Lager)

FOR THE BBQ SAUCE:

  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons worchestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons liquid hickory smoke
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bottle beer or can

Instructions

FOR THE RIBS:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Add the shortribs in a single layer in a large baking pan.
  • Sprinkle the thyme, salt, pepper and paprika over the ribs.
  • Pour the Worcestershire sauce and beer over the ribs.
  • Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 2 1/2 hours.

While the ribs are baking, make the BBQ Sauce:

  • Add all the sauce ingredients into a 2 quart pot. Stir thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients and cook over medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 30 minutes or until sauce thickens.
    Note: The beer will begin to froth when it boils - stir rigorously.
  • Turn off the heat and set aside.

2 1/2 hours later:

  • Remove the ribs from the oven. Carefully remove the cover.
  • Pour the BBQ Sauce over the ribs. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for 30 minutes.
    Note: The meat will be very tender and some of the bones may likely fall off the meat.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Tranfer the ribs only to a serving bowl.
  • Pour all of the Beer BBQ Sauce into a 2 quart pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until sauce is reduced to half and thickens. 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour sauce over the ribs.
  • Plate and serve with your favorite side.
    Note: I served this with my Sour Cream Garlic Parsley Mashed Potatoes

Notes

You can use boneless short ribs if preferred.
The BBQ sauce has a tangy taste.  If you prefer a little sweeter sauce, use 1/3 cup brown sugar.
You can also use either beef or chicken broth instead of beer.
