- Can you bake them without braising them? Yes, add some liquid to the pan (to keep them moist) you bake them in, and slowly bake until done. at 300F-325F Degrees. For several hours.
- To grill them on medium heat: First marinate them for a few hours with the sauce of your choice (mild, habanero, or hot) When grilling flipping them frequently. After the beef ribs are grilled, add the pineapple and green onion for garnish. Or grill sliced pineapples in replace of chunks.
Beef Short Ribs will need at least an internal temperature of 145F-160F degrees. The optimal will be between 180F-205F, which will make them more tender.
Alternative Ingredients
Substitutions: Instead of Rice: Serve on top of mashed potatoes. Or next to gnocchi. Instead of green beans: make a salad or your favorite vegetable.
Substitutions: If you don’t like pineapple omit it. Use 1/2 cup of additional Miller’s Banana Pepper Sauce with half a cup of water to make 1 cup of liquid.
