These grilled short ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender thanks to foil packets that keep all the savory flavor inside.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 pounds beef short ribs (bone-in), trimmed of fat
- Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
- ½ cup barbecue sauce, plus additional for serving
Directions:
Mix brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl.
Cut ribs into 4 equal portions. Generously rub spice mixture onto all surfaces of ribs; place ribs in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Cover and refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat grill to medium indirect heat, 375 to 400 degrees F (190 to 200 degrees C).
Center one portion ribs on a 12×18-inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil; add 2 ice cubes. Bring up the foil sides, then double-fold the top and ends to seal the packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make 3 more packets.
Arrange packets over indirect heat on the preheated grill. Cover and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Uncover the grill. Keeping the foil packets on the grill, open them carefully by cutting along the top folds with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape; then proceed to open packets fully.
Brush ribs with about 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Move packets over direct heat, cover, and continue grilling, turning once, until ribs are browned and crisp, about 5 minutes more.
Serve with additional barbecue sauce as desired.
