BBQ Short Ribs

This recipe for BBQ short ribs is very popular in our area. The meat is fork-tender, and the sauce is wonderfully tangy. We're retired now but raised beef for many years. We still put this recipe to good use.

Ingredients:

  • 3-1/2 to 4 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

  • In a Dutch oven, combine ribs, water, onion and vinegar; bring to a boil. Reduce hat; cover and simmer for 1 hour, turning ribs occasionally. Drain.
  • Place ribs in a single layer in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine sauce ingredients; spoon over ribs. Bake at 325°, covered, until meat is tender, about 1-1/4 hours.
