COSTILLAS DE RES (BEEF SHORT RIBS)

Steps:

• Score the ribs by slicing them at 1/4-inch intervals 1 way and then the other across the fatty tops, as if you were setting up a crossword puzzle.
• Remove the seeds and stems from the chiles, soak them in hot water for 20 minutes, drain and place them in a blender jar. Add the oregano, garlic, cumin, vinegar, oil and salt. Blend the mixture for 1 minute. (if the mixture is too thick to blend properly, add a little water and continue). Pour the chile sauce over the ribs and marinate, refrigerated for 2 hours.
• Cook the ribs at 2 to 2 1/2 feet from mesquite coals for 1 to 2 hours or until they are tender. If your barbecue will not accommodate this distance cook the ribs over very low direct heat, or in a Texas style smoker.

TATEMADO DE COSTILLA DE RES (TATEMADO SHORT RIBS)

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from short ribs then cut between the bones.
• In a saucepan over moderate heat, dry-roast the chiles. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind into a powder.
• In the same saucepan, dry-roast the onions and garlic. Transfer to a blender, add the piloncillo, beer or pulque, agave, tequila, and the powdered chiles, and process until smooth.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the lard and fry the chile mixture. Season with salt and let cool. Coat the meat with the chile mixture, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F and arrange a steamer in a roasting pan.
• In a saucepan over moderate heat, dry-roast the maguey or agave leaves. Transfer to the roasting pan on the steamer and top with 2 cactus paddles. Place the ribs with the marinade on top and cover with the remaining 2 cactus paddles. Cover the pan with foil or a lid and bake until the ribs are fork tender, 3 to 4 hours, checking the water level every 30 minutes and adding 1/2 cup of water when it gets very low.
• Transfer the short ribs to a serving platter. Slice the cactus paddles into strips and place them on top of the ribs. Serve with Frijoles de la Olla and tortillas.
