Heat oven to 160°C and season the short ribs generously.

In the same pan, sauté garlic briefly and add soy sauce, honey, and BBQ sauce ingredients.
Return ribs to the pan, add a little stock or water, and cover tightly.
Cook in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is very tender.
Uncover, brush with extra glaze, and roast 10–15 minutes to caramelise.
Rest 5 minutes, then spoon over pan juices and serve.

Always check seasoning and serve piping hot.

Prep all ingredients before cooking for smoother timing.

About this recipe

These slow-cooked beef short ribs are all about deep flavour and tenderness. The meat cooks low and slow until it becomes meltingly soft, then gets brushed with a smoky-sweet BBQ glaze for a glossy finish.

They are perfect for weekend cooking or special dinners at home. Serve with mash, slaw, or roasted vegetables to soak up every bit of the rich sauce.
