Baked beef short ribs

• 6 regular beef short ribs (or 3 L size ribs)

• 2 tbs brown sugar 

• 2 tbs paprika 

• 2 tbs ground cumin 

• 2 tbs garlic powder 

• 2 tbs ground chilli 

• 1 tbs sea salt 

• 300 ml beer

1. Soak the ribs in a beer overnight.

2. Combine the sugar, spices and salt in a bowl and mix well. Rub all over the beef short ribs (drained and dry), cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavours to develop.

3. Preheat the oven to 180 C.. Spread the ribs in a single layer in a large roasting tin. Cover with foil and bake for 1-2 hours until almost tender. Remove the foil and cook for another 30 minutes until a bark forms on the outside of the meat. 

4. Remove from the heat and rest for 15 minutes, then serve.
