Sunnys Cola Glazed Short Ribs Recipes

SUNNY'S HONEY BBQ OVEN SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the paprika, onion powder, 4 teaspoons salt, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and a few grinds of black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the ribs and allow it to sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours at the most.
• Place the ribs snugly in an oven dish with the fat side of each rib facing up. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and don't be afraid to top the dish with another heavy dish to ensure the seal! Cook in the oven for 2 1/2 hours, at this point the meat should be falling off the bones. Remove the ribs from the oven and raise the temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Using a pair of tongs, flip and move the beef around a bit. Drizzle the honey evenly over the top of each rib. Place the ribs back in the oven, this time leaving it uncovered and cook another 10 to 15 minutes.

GRILLED SPARERIBS WITH CHERRY COLA GLAZE

Steps:

• Boil cherry cola in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 45 minutes.
• Stir in next 5 ingredients. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes.
• Transfer glaze to large bowl. Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. Wrap each rib rack tightly in aluminum foil, enclosing completely.
• Divide foil packets between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Bake until ribs are very tender, switching positions of baking sheets halfway through baking, about 2 hours total. Cool ribs slightly in foil. Pour off any fat from foil packets.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-low heat).
• Cut each rib rack between bones into individual ribs. Set aside 1 cup glaze. Add ribs to bowl with remaining glaze and toss to coat. Grill ribs until brown and glazed, turning to prevent burning, about 5 minutes total.
• Serve, passing reserved glaze separately.

GLAZED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Bring the wine to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Boil rapidly until reduced to 1/2 cup.
• Generously season the ribs on all sides with salt. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Transfer the ribs to a large roasting pan, bone side up. Scatter the garlic, shiitakes, carrots, onions, celery, ginger, allspice, cinnamon, konbu, and thyme on top of the ribs. Add the stock, vinegar, and reduced red wine. Cover the pan tightly with foil, crimping the edges around the rim of the pan. Transfer to the oven and braise until completely fork-tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully remove the foil. Raise the oven temperature to 375°F.
• When cool enough to handle, carefully transfer the ribs to a dish. Remove and discard the bones and any bits of vegetables or herbs clinging to the meat. Set a fine-mesh sieve over a large measuring cup. Carefully pour all the liquid from the pan through the sieve; discard the solids. Let stand for a few minutes, then spoon the fat from the juices, discarding the fat, or use a fat separator. Pour the juices back into the roasting pan.
• Return the ribs to the pan in a single layer and straddle the pan between 2 burners. Bring the liquid to a boil, then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook, basting frequently, until the ribs are glazed with a shiny coat, 5 to 10 minutes. The glaze should be saucy and cling to the ribs, but not sticky. And you should have at least 2 cups of it remaining for serving.
• Serve the short ribs topped with the glaze.
