Marinated Beef Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef ribs (short ribs or beef back ribs)
• 1/4 cup A1 sauce
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce (your choice)
• 2 tablespoons liquid smoke (1 tablespoon mesquite and 1 tablespoon hickory for a unique flavor)
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Additional Seasonings

• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar (for sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme or oregano

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together A1 sauce, barbecue sauce, both liquid smokes, hot sauce, vinegar, cooking oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2. Decide on Ribs Type and Marinate:

   • For Short Ribs: Marinate for 8-12 hours in the refrigerator.
   • For Beef Back Ribs: Marinate for 4-8 hours in the refrigerator.
   • Place the beef ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish to retain the marinade.

Cooking Methods

Air Fryer:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Remove the ribs from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off.
3. Place the beef ribs in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-35 minutes, depending on the thickness of the ribs, flipping halfway through. Aim for an internal temperature of at least 190°F (88°C).

Oven:

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
3. Remove the ribs from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
4. Wrap the ribs securely in aluminum foil to keep moisture in during cooking.
5. Place the wrapped ribs on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 2.5-3 hours until the meat is tender. For the last 30 minutes, unwrap the ribs and brush with additional barbecue sauce for a glaze.

Grill:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
