Tender Grilled Short Ribs Recipe

Directions

1. 1.

   If using boneless short ribs, cut into four 8 ounce portions, about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long apiece. If using English-cut short ribs, use a sharp knife to remove meat from bones. Save bones for another use.

   

2. 2.

   Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.

3. 3.

   Season short ribs liberally with salt and pepper and place directly over coals. Cook, turning frequently, until charred on all sides and probe thermometer inserted into thickest part of steak register 125°F, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.

   

4. 4.

   Thinly slice short ribs against the grain and serve immediately.
