• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/4 cup garlic, chopped

Instructions

1. Heat corn oil in heavy roasting pan over high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper and sear meaty parts on all sides until rich, dark brown.
2. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. After 45 minutes, reduce heat to low and simmer for another hour.
