Print This Recipe
INGREDIENTS 4 pounds beef short ribs, excess fat removed
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup tomato ketchup
1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1-1/2 teaspoons saltPut the short ribs in a heavy plastic bag or deep bowl. Combine all of the remaining ingredients and pour them over the ribs. Close the bag tightly and turn it to coat the ribs completely; or spoon the marinade over the ribs in the bowl. Chill for at least several hours, preferably overnight.
To cook the ribs, lift them from the marinade and arrange them on the cooking rack of a smoker. Reserve the marinade. Smoke the ribs for 4 to 5 hours, until they are tender. Bring the reserved marinade to a boil and serve it as a sauce.
