Costillas cortas de barbacoa jugosas a cocción lenta

Ingredientes

• 1 batch Cola BBQ Sauce (click for full recipe)
• 4 lbs boneless beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
• Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2-3 tablespoons avocado oil (or vegetable/canola oil), as needed

Preparación

1. 1

   Prep the BBQ sauce: Make the Cola BBQ sauce as instructed in the recipe and then set it aside to cool before using it for these short ribs.

2. 2

   Season & rest the short ribs: On a large plate/platter, generously season the short ribs with salt and pepper on all sides. Set the short ribs aside to rest and come up to room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300°F.

3. 3

   Brown the short ribs: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil. When hot, gently swirl the skillet around to evenly coat the bottom. Add a few short ribs into the pot, working in batches, careful not to overcrowd. Sear the short ribs on all sides until a deep brown crust appears, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer the browned short ribs into a 9×13-inch oven-safe baking dish and repeat the process until all the short ribs are browned- adding a tablespoon more oil into the pot, only as necessary.

4. 4

   Assemble the braise: With all browned short ribs nestled in the baking dish, pour the cola barbecue sauce over the ribs and toss well to fully coat. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.

5. 5

   Slow cook the short ribs: Allow the short ribs to braise for 3 hours, covered, at 300°F- until the ribs are meltingly tender. Then remove the foil and continue cooking the short ribs for an additional 30 minutes until slightly crisp and brown on the top.

6. 6

   Serve the saucy BBQ short ribs immediately alongside your favorite side items (mashed potatoes, cornbread, coleslaw, etc.) or simply between two pieces of sandwich bread! Enjoy!
