INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pre­heat grill to medium heat. Season ribs with salt and pepper to taste and place on pre­heated

grill. Grill for 2 minutes on each side, remove and set aside. Next, pre­heat skillet over medium heat.

Add vegetable oil and onion to the skillet and cook until onions are golden brown about 5 minutes.

Add garlic and tomato paste and combine, then add the paprika, cumin, salt and pepper and

combine.

Cook’s tip: If you cannot find Country Style Ribs, Boneless Beef Short Ribs can be substituted.

 

2. Deglaze skillet with the beef stock scraping the bottom of the pan. Add in the ribs, bay leaf and

liquid smoke and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover for 2.5­3.5 hours or until fork

tender.

Cook’s tip: Avoid lifting the lid, which releases valuable heat and moisture and can significantly

increase cook time.

 

3. Once the ribs are fork tender, remove from the pan and return to the grill over low heat. Grill for 1.5

minutes on each side, remove from the grill and set aside. Meanwhile remove the bay leaf from the

sauce and bring sauce to a boil. Add in the Bourbon, ketchup, molasses, and cayenne pepper and

continue to cook until sauce becomes thick. Plate each Rib and top with 3/4 cup of BBQ sauce.

Garnish with 1 Tablespoon of pickle relish and serve.
