Best Oven-Baked Short Ribs Recipe with Beer and No.7 Hot Sauce

Do you ever crave that fall-off-the-bone short rib dish at Irish pubs? I do. I happen to love the braised meat that is slow-cooked in the oven until it’s tender and soaked in gravy. For this easy, oven-baked short rib recipe, I added my favourite beer, No.7 seasoning spice and No.7 Hot Sauce for a little heat. You can also serve this short rib dish with couscous to soak in the extra sauce.

This Short Ribs Recipe Requires Extra Seasoning

For this short ribs recipe, I always try to find thick-cut, well-marbled beef. The bone-in short ribs I found at Walmart are just the perfect cut of beef, and I find that the bones add extra flavour.

Every dish I make, I always marinade the night before. I found this special seasoning rub made by the creators of No.7 Hot Sauce, Carlos and Sandra Flores. The seasoning has onions, garlic, cumin, black pepper, and pasilla peppers. It’s not on their website, but you can find it at their coffee shop (Cafe Con Leche) in Toronto. You should read the interview I did with Carlos and Sandra.  I’m doing some inspirational stories featuring small business owners.

The Gravy Makes This Short Ribs Recipe Unique

Many people prefer red wine, but I prefer beer. For this recipe, I used Pabst Blue Ribbon beer because it was the only one I could find in my fridge. Combine the beer with beef stock, tomato paste, No.7 Hot Sauce, and flour. One dash of No.7 Habanero and Ghost Pepper sauce is enough to set your mouth on fire. Cook in the oven for two hours and serve with couscous or mashed potatoes.
