- Mix ingredients well and store
- Rub short ribs with chili rub and mark on grill. No need to cook ribs all the way through, just get a nice char on the meat. Set ribs in deep baking/braising pan. Mix remaining ingredients together, including any remaining chili rub and pour over short ribs. Cover pan with foil and braise in 350 degree oven for three hours, until tender.
- To portion ribs out for entrees, let them cool down in liquid. Once short ribs are cooled, remove the fat from the top of liquid. Portion short ribs, about 7 ounces each. Save the trimmings for tacos or whatever your heart desires. Strain the liquid through a fine china cap strainer and return to braising pan. Add trimmed short ribs and place in oven until liquid is slowly simmering. Gently pull short ribs out, add kosher salt to taste and serve. You can reduce the braising liquid and make a sauce as well.
