Braised Beef Ribs in Bourbon Barbecue Sauce
I got the idea of this recipe when we dined in at Ms Clawdy several months ago, it was one of our orders and we really loved it, I just hope we got a bigger serving as we really enjoyed it and it was not enough. Anyways enough with that rant because now I can enjoy as much as I can as we are making it at home based my memory of how the dish tasted like so I must tell you this is not the original recipe but it comes really close and its well suited for our taste.
So what I did here is I slowly braised some beef short ribs in bourbon and wine with herbs and spices.

Oh, yes – send it to me now! I love bones!
what is the best substitue for bourbon ? and can we used red wine instead of dry red wine for this recipe?
If you want a non alcoholic substitue use apple juice. And red wine will be fine.
Looks fantastic! I love fall off the bone ribs! This looks like it might be a good recipe for a slow cooker…
finger licking good!!!
really seducing photograph Ray…
Raymund, this is looking good and moist. I just posted a rib recipe this week and it will not hurt to have another rib meal for labor day with Bourbon and wine in it plus the tomato paste. I can just taste/feel how good this is through this pictures. I am going to try it in my crock pot. I am just wondering, is it just my computer or you do not have pinterest hover in your photos. I was gonna pin this in my board 🙂
Good grief! That looks amazing!!
