Ingredients:
For the Ribs:
- 1.5-2 kg beef short ribs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Honey Mustard Glaze:
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
Prepare the Ribs:
-
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F).
-
Season the ribs: Rub the beef ribs with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Make sure the ribs are evenly coated with the seasoning.
-
Sear the ribs: Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This helps lock in the flavor and adds a nice crust to the ribs.
-
Bake the ribs: Place the seared ribs in a roasting pan or on a baking tray. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat is falling off the bone.
Make the Honey Mustard Glaze:
- Prepare the glaze: While the ribs are baking, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Glaze and Broil:
-
Glaze the ribs: Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F). Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the ribs.
-
Broil or finish in the oven: Return the glazed ribs to the oven, uncovered, and broil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and caramelized. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
-
Rest and serve: Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to settle.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the ribs with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or coleslaw.
- You can also pair them with a fresh salad and crusty bread.
