Grilled Beef Short Ribs
Ingredients:
4-6 ea. bone-in beef shortrib
1/2 can. Tomato paste
2 Tbl. Dried shiitake mushroom
1 Tbl. Java-Que seasoning
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Preparation:
Grind mushrooms along with spices in a coffee grinder until dusted. Spread each short rib with tomato paste, then apply a generous amount of spice mix. Allow to marinade overnight like this. Place on a baking sheet and roast in a 300 degree oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Remove and rest. Sprinkle with another dose of spice mix and place on a hot grill and cook both sides until nicely charred. The two step cooking process minimizes the shrinkage of this cut of meat. Science alert: the nucleotides in tomato paste and shiitake mushrooms creates a depth of flavor without changing the actual flavor of the product.
