These succulent boneless beef short ribs are a masterclass in balancing sweet, smoky, and savoury flavours. By using a generous dry rub featuring both smoked and sweet paprika, the beef develops a wonderful crust that stands up perfectly to the high heat of the grill. This high-protein dish is an excellent alternative to traditional steak, offering a richer texture and deeper beefy flavour that pairs beautifully with a thick, shop-bought or homemade barbecue sauce.
Ideal for weekend entertaining or a robust midweek meal, this recipe is surprisingly quick to prepare once the meat has marinated. The secret lies in the frequent turning and glazing, which ensures a sticky, caramelised finish without burning the sugars. Serve these tender ribs with a crisp green salad or some homemade slaw for a satisfying, protein-packed dinner that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients for Darned Good Boneless Short Ribs
100g packed light brown sugar
50g granulated sugar
100g paprika (try 40g smoked paprika and 40g sweet paprika)
2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon granulated onion
1/2 teaspoons cayenne
900g boneless beef short ribs, connective tissue removed
240ml Virginia Pruitt's Perfect Barbecue Sauce or your favourite thick barbecue sauce
How to make Darned Good Boneless Short Ribs
Back to contentsIn a medium bowl and blend together both sugars, the paprika, salt, pepper, granulated onion, and cayenne. Sprinkle the short rib pieces liberally with this mixture until coated on all sides. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Oil the grill racks. Preheat your grill using all burners set on high and with the lid closed for 10 to 12 minutes.
Place the beef ribs on the grill, close the lid, and reduce the heat to medium. Turn the ribs every 3 to 5 minutes or so, so that every side gets slightly caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes total. (If your short rib pieces are small, it won't take quite this long.) The ribs should yield easily to the touch, not unlike a medium-rare steak or the way the tip of your nose feels. Reduce the heat a little more and brush the ribs with the sauce. Cover the grill and let cook for a minute or two for the sauce to set up, and then continue to turn and brush until all sides of the ribs have been glazed. Remove to a platter and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, covered with foil. Serve.
