This vibrant recipe for grilled short ribs with sesame-chipotle mole offers a sophisticated twist on a classic barbecue dish. The smoky depth of the chipotle chillies pairs beautifully with the charred beef, while the roasted almonds and sesame seeds provide a rich, nutty base for the sauce. Unlike traditional long-simmered moles, this version uses piquillo peppers and vinegar to create a bright, piquant finish that cuts through the richness of the meat.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish focuses on high-quality protein and healthy fats from the nuts and seeds, keeping the carbohydrate content low. It is an excellent choice for a nutritious weekend dinner or an impressive summer gathering. Serve the sliced beef alongside a crisp green salad or roasted courgettes for a complete, well-balanced meal that doesn’t compromise on flavour.

Ingredients for Grilled Short Ribs with Sesame-Chipotle Mole
50g unsalted, roasted almonds
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
140g roasted red peppers from a jar, preferably piquillo, drained
2 canned chipotle chillies in adobo, seeded
2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil (for grilling)
675g boneless beef short ribs (1 1/4 - 1 1/2" thick)
Freshly ground black pepper
How to make Grilled Short Ribs with Sesame-Chipotle Mole
Pulse almonds and sesame seeds in a food processor until finely chopped. Add red peppers, chipotle chillies, and vinegar and puree until well combined; season mole with salt.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Season short ribs with salt and pepper and toss on a rimmed baking sheet with 80ml mole; set remaining mole aside for serving.
Grill short ribs, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of meat registers 54°C for medium-rare, 8–10 minutes.
Transfer short ribs to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Thinly slice ribs against the grain and serve with reserved mole alongside.
