Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Spice Rub: In a mixing bowl, combine the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until fully incorporated.
  2. Season the Ribs: Generously rub the spice mixture over the beef short ribs, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
  3. Bake: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the seasoned short ribs bone side down in a baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for approximately 3 hours.
  4. Add Barbecue Sauce: After 3 hours, remove the foil and brush barbecue sauce generously over the ribs. Bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.
  5. Broil (if desired): For extra caramelization, switch to the broil setting and broil for 2–3 minutes.
  6. Rest and Serve: Let the ribs rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving with additional barbecue sauce.
