    Grilled Beef Short Ribs Make an Easy Flavorful Meal

    Grilled Beef Short Ribs take a little effort to prepare ahead of time to allow a nice long marinade for tender juicy ribs that cook in just minutes on the grill.

    With a little work ahead of time, these flavorful Grilled Beef Short Ribs cook up to tender juicy perfection in just minutes.

    This is one of my mom's recipes from the original That Recipe website that she created back in the early days of the internet to show prospective employers her html skills. But since she put some of our favorite recipes on it, it backfired a bit, since my brother and I didn't have to call her as much.

    Mom's original note with the recipe said, "This may seem impossible but it works, if you follow the directions and marinate correctly."

    Pre-boiling the ribs ahead of time and then marinating at least 6 hours tenderizes this tough cut of beef. The final grilling adds the final bit of flavor and color for a delicious dish.

    About Beef Short Ribs

    Short ribs actually aren't just beef ribs cut into smaller portions. They are cut from the chuck or brisket areas which are tougher cuts of meat. These cuts are usually cooked low and slow to tenderize them. Think braised brisket or beef stew.

    For this recipe you want the "English" cut which has bones about 4-6 inches long versus the flanken cut which is cut about ½ inch thin.
