What's this?
Shhh, it's a secret. But since you're here, I guess we'll let you into the flavor vault. Chili sauce, root beer, and onions form a delectable braising sauce for beef short ribs. Whip some up for friends, and they'll be begging for the secret combination.
Ingredients
1 Bottle Traeger Chili BBQ Sauce
1 Cup High Quality Root Beer Soda
1 Tablespoon chopped thyme
1 Large Sweet Onion, sliced into rings
4 Pound bone-in beef short ribs
As Needed salt and pepper
1 As Needed High Quality Root Beer Soda
Steps
1
In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, root beer, and thyme leaves.2
Arrange the onions evenly in the bottom of a 9" x 13" pan.3
Season the short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Lay in a single layer on top of the onions.4
Pour the chili-root beer sauce evenly over the ribs. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.5
When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 300℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.6
Place the pan of ribs on the grill grate; cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender but not falling off the bone.7
Add a bit more root beer to the pan if the dish does not seem as saucy as you would like.8
Serve immediately with polenta or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
