Short Ribs with Raspberry Barbecue Sauce

Serves 12

5 pounds Certified Angus Beef ® short ribs
Water, as needed
2 cups frozen raspberries
9 ounces prepared barbecue sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Season short ribs generously with salt and pepper; gently rub into meat. Place ribs into large baking pan with high sides and fitted with a metal rack. Pour approximately 1 to 2 inches water into the bottom of the pan; do not cover ribs with water. Cover tightly with foil or lid and roast 4 hours; do not uncover during roasting.

2. Place raspberries in blender with 1/4 cup water and pureé. Strain through a metal sieve to remove seeds; discard seeds.

3. Mix together barbecue sauce, brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cup water into raspberry pureé.

4. Remove ribs from oven. Brush with barbecue sauce and grill 5 minutes on each side. Slice and serve.
