Florida Grapefruit Rubbed Short Ribs

Short ribs make any meal an Occasion with a capital “O” – they’re the birthday cake of meat. Tender meat that melts off the bone marinated with our Florida Grapefruit rub pairs perfectly with a green salad, or an extra serving of ribs.

Ingredients

½ zest of 1 Florida Grapefruit
½ the juice of 1 Florida Grapefruit
2 lb. braising beef short ribs
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 tbsp. smoked paprika
2 tsp. ground ginger
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ tsp. ground coriander seed
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. ground black pepper
Pinch of salt
½ cup water

Preparation

1. Pre-heat oven to 325°F. In a medium sized mixing bowl stir together brown sugar, paprika, ginger, cayenne pepper, coriander, garlic, black pepper, salt and zest.

2. Generously coat ribs in sugar rub and transfer to a 9 x 13 roasting pan. Pour remaining sugar over top of ribs and pat down creating a thick layer. Stir water and grapefruit juice together and pour into the bottom of the roasting pan.
