Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef short ribs, bone-in
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Step 2

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the beef short ribs, coating all sides.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the ribs and gently massage it so that it integrates with the spices.

Step 4

Allow the ribs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for the best flavor.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once heated, place the beef short ribs directly on the grill grates, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side to achieve a good sear.

Step 7

Once seared, move the ribs to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 8

Close the grill lid and continue cooking the ribs for an additional 30-35 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and tender.

Step 9

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should read at least 145°F for medium rare.

Step 10

Before removing the ribs from the grill, squeeze the lemon juice over them and sprinkle with chopped fresh rosemary.

Step 11

Transfer the ribs to a serving platter and let them rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve warm with your choice of low sodium sides.
