Beef Short Ribs Recipe with Menu

I try different ways to prepare food weekly. I have three sons and they love to eat. I on the other hand get very tired of the same foods prepared the same old ways. So, I watch the Food Network cooks and vary recipes to fit my taste and my sons; of course.

This past Sunday, I purchased some of the long beef ribs from Food World. I kept looking at the ribs and trying to determine how I wanted to change the flavor or enhance it. I finally decided to take an envelope of McCormick's Au Jour Gravy mix and add it to about one cup of flour. The mixture made for a fantastic taste in addition the ribs were so moist, you could suck them off the bones.

So, as Alban Mehling always tells his readers, before preparing any meal, roll up your sleeves, take off your watches, rings or any jewelry, wash your hands and get ready to cook.

Ingredients Required

2 pounds of Short or Long Beef Ribs

I Large Onion

I envelope of McCormick Beef or Beef Au Jour Gravy Mix

I Cup of Self Rising Flour

Salt

Accent

Black Pepper

Butter Seasoning Granules

Wash your meat assuring that it is washed until clean. I generally leave my meat covered with hot water to guarantee everything undesired rises to the top and is removed before a final wash. While the meat is soaking, mix the flour and McCormick's powder gravy mix together. Make sure the two items are mixed thoroughly. Place the flour mixture in a small bowl or on a paper towel. Some people like to use a brown bag to cover meat.

After your meat is washed thoroughly, dry your meat. Dip each piece in the flour and gravy mixture until completely covered. Place the covered ribs in a baking dish. Line the ribs with sliced onion rings and then shake the salt, accent, pepper and butter granules liberally over the meat dish. Cover the dish with foil or a lid.

Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. After one hour, baste the ribs with the juices from the pan. Return to the oven and bake one half hour longer. Check to assure the ribs are done and tender. Some ovens are calibrated differently so, your oven may require less or more time to cook completely done.

When done, remove from the oven and allow to rest for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

(Caution: Some individuals do not like the taste of or may be allergic to accent. Accent is an optional seasoning)
