Main Ingredients
- 2 to 3 pounds boneless beef ribs, trimmed of excess fat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or hot sauce (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups beef broth or stock
- Prepare the Rub: Combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and optional cayenne pepper in a small bowl to make a flavorful dry rub that adds complexity and helps form a savory crust.
- Season the Ribs: Pat the boneless beef ribs dry with paper towels. Coat them generously with olive oil, then rub the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides, massaging it into the meat to ensure deep flavor penetration.
- Sear the Ribs: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and caramelized, locking in the juices and enhancing flavor.
- Braise Low and Slow: Transfer the ribs to a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Pour beef broth around (not over) the ribs to keep them moist. Cover tightly with foil or a lid. Cook in a preheated oven at 275°F (135°C) for 3 to 4 hours until ribs are tender and juicy.
- Finish and Rest: Remove ribs from the oven and uncover. Let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum succulence in every bite.
Notes
- Patience is key: Slow cooking breaks down tough fibers for tender ribs.
- Dry rub magic: Letting seasoned ribs rest overnight in the fridge enhances flavor penetration.
- Don’t skip searing: Browning the ribs locks in moisture and adds rich flavor depth.
- Use a meat thermometer: Aim for an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C) for fall-apart tenderness.
- Keep ribs moist: Basting occasionally or cooking with broth prevents drying out.
