CHIPOTLE-GLAZED BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the oregano, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper and garlic.
• Add the beef ribs and toss to coat.
• Refrigerate from 8 to 24 hours.
• Place the ribs in a roasting pan.
• Cover and roast in a 350 degree F oven until the meat is tender enough to fall off the bone, 2 to 2-1/2 hours.
• Transfer to a plate.
• Skim the fat from the pan juices, reserving 1 tablespoon fat for the sauce.
• Set the pan juices aside.
• In a saucepan, heat the reserved beef fat (or vegetable oil) over medium-high heat and saute the onion and garlic until softened.
• Add the pan juices, chipotle peppers, brown sugar, lime juice, adobo sauce, tomato paste and salt.
• Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
• Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
• Place the ribs on a greased barbecue grill over medium-high heat.
• Close the lid and cook, turning and basting often with the sauce, until heated through and crisped outside, about 10 minutes.
