Beef Short Ribs - esgunn - 07-07-2009
YEA!!! I FINALLY FOUND IT!
I have been looking and looking for this recipe. I knew it was in a book I had checked out from the Library. But could not rember which one. I have been re-checking out all the cookbooks I have previously checke out over the last year and a half. I finally found it. Thought I'd share it. It is from a freezer cookbook - so adjust directions as necessary. It may not be as good as my quest has me rembering, but at least this way I can find it again! But I think it was good. I cooked them in the crock pot and finished on the grill.

Serving Day Instructions
Taw completely. Precook by placing ribs and marinade in crock-Pot and cooking on low for 5-6 hours or until tender. Ribs may also be precooked on grill by wrapping ribs in foil and cooking over medium, indirect heat for approximately 2 hours or until tender. To precook in oven, place ribs in large baking dish with marinade; cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 ½ - 2 hours or until tender.
Once ribs are tender, brush ribs with barbecue sauce and finish by grilling over medium heat for 20 minutes. Basting with barbecue sauce regularly.

Oh my! Copied here also. While I just said there's not a lot you can improve on with rib sauces, I'll continue to try new ones. I think this one's worth a try...molasses and bourbon...YUM!
