Ingredients

Dry Rub Ingredients

  • 20 g coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 15 g smoked paprika
  • 15 g mild paprika
  • 15 g cumin powder
  • 10 g salt
  • 1/2 tbsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 pinches of pimento or all spice
  • 2.5-3 kg beef short ribs - or rindless pork belly cut into large chunks

Smokey BBQ Sauce Ingredients:

  • 90 g water
  • 30 g coconut sugar - or brown sugar
  • 30 g butter
  • 120 g tomato sauce
  • 10 g tamari or coconut aminos or worcestershire sauce
  • 10 g apple cider vinegar
  • 10 g lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cacao powder or instant coffee
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • ** Please note, this recipe requires overnight marinating**
  • Add all of the rub ingredients to the mixer bowl, blend for 10 sec/speed 9/MC on or combine in a bowl if you don't have a thermal cooker.
  • Put rub mixture and meat into a large container, coat meat with mixture thoroughly.
  • Refrigerate overnight, or a minimum of 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 150°C or 300°F, fanforced.
  • Arrange meat on a deep roasting tray, cover with two layers of baking paper and then a final layer of alfoil.
  • Bake in the oven for 2.5-3 hours depending on thickness of meat. You want it to be tender and falling apart.
  • With 10 minutes remaining, prepare Smokey BBQ Sauce by putting all ingredients into the mixer bowl and cooking for 5 min/steaming temp/speed 3/MC on. Bring to a gentle boil on the stove top if you don't have a thermal cooker.
  • Carefully drain off fat from the roasting tray and pour over bbq sauce. Turn oven up to 200°C or 400°F, fan forced, and bake for 15 min or until sauce is just bubbling but not over reduced.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

I used deboned short ribs. You can also use brisket etc... just adjust your cooking times appropriately, i.e. if your ribs aren't very meaty or are small, check them at the 2 hour mark.
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled depending on your ovens capacity.

    This is an incredibly easy and flavour-filled recipe. Perfect for a crowd and no changes needed to suit allergies. Paired with coleslaw, corn fritters and salsa and the flavours are perfect. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed – I’ve cooked this many many times and haven’t needed to change a thing from the recipe.

    Wow how delicious are these. Made them for the first time. Slow cooked them and then in the air fryer for 10mins. Big hit with the family.

  3. Can I use the sauce as a basting coating on the Weber? Eg dry rub and cook low heat for awhile and then start basting with the sauce? Maybe save some to pour over price or to serving?

  4. Full bellies and empty plates all round!! We put them in the slow cooker and my house smelled amazing all Arvo 🙂

    1. Question. With the slow cooker version when did you put in the sauce? Planning for dinner tomorrow night and we will be out all day. Just wondering whether I could add the sauce when we got home.

    2. How did you cook them in slow cooker I am looking at doing this tomorrow and was wondering the process?

  5. I made this tonight, if I made it again I would lower the quantity of cumin, I thought that was over powering. My 3 year old son loved it tho!

  6. Oh wow! Thank you so much!!
    Think that is now our favourite dinner and plan on doing it with the pork next time. Also plan on doing it for our dad’s as i know they will love it too

  7. I hesitated with this one due to the need to marinate. The price of the beef also worried me because it wasn’t a cheap meal to risk stuffing up. Needn’t have worried – it was beautiful and plates and fingers were licked clean. I look forward to making them again!

  8. Wow. Wow. Wow !
    Seriously amazing. I was so tempted to try and fit seconds in.
    I’m making these again on the weekend!
