Festival Firecracker BBQ Beef Ribs

Allergens

Wheat, Soy (in BBQ sauce)

Ingredients

• 4 lbs beef short ribs, cut into individual ribs
• 1 cup Festival Firecracker BBQ Sauce (see recipe below)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Coat the beef ribs evenly with the dry rub mixture, making sure each rib is well seasoned.
3. Preheat your grill or smoker to medium high heat (around 350°F/175°C).
4. Place the seasoned ribs on the preheated grill grates and cook for 2 3 minutes per side, until a nice crust forms.
5. Reduce the heat to low (around 225°F/105°C) and continue cooking the ribs with the lid closed, basting occasionally with Festival Firecracker BBQ Sauce. Cook for approximately 3 hours or until the ribs are tender and pull apart easily.

Chef’s Insight

To add an extra layer of flavor and smoke, consider using wood chips like hickory or mesquite during the cooking process.

Notes

For an extra kick, try adding a dash of cayenne pepper to the dry rub or increasing the heat of the BBQ sauce.
