Barbecued short ribs

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 2 hours

Serves 4 to 6

George Halaway of Sacramento was looking for some good lamb shank and short rib recipes. The Mailbox featured a lamb shank recipe last week for Halaway. Today’s short rib recipe, from Claire Gliddon of Fair Oaks, is easy and sounds like a good match for Halaway.

3 to 3  1/2 pounds beef short ribs

1 cup ketchup

1/2 cup water

1 medium onion, chopped

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons garlic salt

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons prepared mustard

1/4 teaspoon thyme

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place ribs in baking pan or casserole dish. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over ribs. Cover and bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours or until tender. Serve ribs with sauce.
