TEX-MEX RIBS

If you’re craving good ribs, you don’t have to move to Texas to enjoy them!

INGREDIENTS
2 lbs   1 kg   BONELESS BEEF SIMMERING SHORT RIBS (if bone-in, use 3 lbs/1.5 kg) or BRISKET POT ROAST, trimmed of fat and cut in 2 x 4 inch (5 x 10 cm) pieces
1   1   bottle (200 mL) Tex Mex style or regular steak sauce
1/4 cup   50 mL   extra strong coffee
1/4 cup   50 mL   liquid honey
2 tbsp   30 mL   vinegar
1 tbsp   15 mL   Dijon or regular mustard
2 tbsp   30 mL   finely chopped onion
4   4   cloves garlic, crushed

PREPARATION TIME: 1 1/4 hours
COOKING TIME: 10 - 20 minutes
MARINATING TIME: 2 hours or overnight

DIRECTIONS
Place ribs in saucepan, add enough water to barely cover ribs (a whole onion and a garlic clove may be added for extra flavour). Bring ribs to a boil, reduce to simmer. Cover and cook 60 minutes, drain ribs. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients to make sauce. Marinate cooked ribs in sauce in refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight for extra flavour. Place ribs on broiler pan on second shelf under preheated broiler (or grill about 3 inches (7 cm) above medium heat); brush generously with sauce. Broil/grill for about 10-20 minutes until browned, brushing with sauce often and turning frequently. Heat any remaining sauce to the boil (add water if sauce is too thick) and simmer for 5 minutes to serve as a dipping sauce.
