This amazing beef short ribs recipe is so easy to make with a couple of off-the-shelf additions.
The honey-chili sauce combination is wonderful.
Of course, everything tastes better with the addition of a few cloves of garlic!
This is an any season recipe, but obviously works best in those months you don’t mind having the oven on. I love the idea of these wonderful short ribs on a cool autumn or winter day. So tummy warming.
I have to admit I usually make all the sauces I cook with from scratch. There are times though when you want something that is quick to put together, even if it still means letting it cook in the oven for a while.
If you can put together dinner quickly and easily, it frees up your time to get something else done while the oven works on getting an amazing dinner ready for you.
And this is one of those recipes. It needs to cook for a while, but it bakes away while you make other things. I love that. And it’s good!
This beef rib recipe becomes a tasty oven baked beef back ribs recipe simply by replacing the short ribs with back ribs and increasing the baking time as shown.
Enjoy!
