Beef Short Ribs

Maple-Ginger BBQ Sauce

Garlic Whipped Potatoes

Method

Beef Short Ribs Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat the beef short ribs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this spice mixture all over the short ribs.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ribs and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Slow Roast

    Transfer the seared ribs to a roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, until tender and falling off the bone.

Maple-Ginger BBQ Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper. Stir well.

  2. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Garlic Whipped Potatoes Preparation

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, boil the peeled and cubed Russet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Whip the Potatoes

    Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, minced garlic, and salt. Using a potato masher or electric mixer, whip until smooth and creamy.

Jicama Slaw Preparation

  1. 8

    Mix the Slaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the julienned jicama, shredded carrot, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Toss to mix well.

Final Assembly

  1. 9

    Glaze the Ribs

    Once the short ribs are finished roasting, remove the foil and brush the maple-ginger BBQ sauce generously over the ribs. Return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, uncovered, to caramelize the sauce.

  2. 10

    Serve

    To serve, place a generous scoop of garlic whipped potatoes on each plate, top with the smoky BBQ beef short ribs, and serve a side of jicama slaw.
