Big Island BBQ Beef Short Ribs bring bold, smoky flavors straight to your plate, thanks to the star ingredient—Kiawe Wood Smoked Sea Salt. This Hawaiian salt adds a rich, authentic island flair to tender, juicy short ribs. The marinade of Tamari sauce, garlic, green onions, brown sugar, and sesame oil creates the perfect sweet-savory balance, but it’s the Kiawe smoke that takes the flavor to the next level. Slow-roasted and seared for a caramelized crust, every bite feels like a taste of the islands.
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds cross-cut beef short ribs, also called Hawaiian Style BBQ Ribs
- 1 cup Tamari Sauce
- 2 Cloves Garlic, crushed
- 1 Bunch green onions, finely sliced
- 1 / 4 cup Brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Asian Sesame oil
- 2 Tablespoons Canola oil
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Hawaiian Volcano Sea Salt (Kiawe Smoked)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a dry large frying pan over medium heat, sear ribs in batches until nicely colored, 8-10 minutes per batch.
- Transfer the ribs to an oiled heavy roasting pan just large enough to hold all of them without crowding.
- In a bowl, combine all other ingredients. Stir to blend and pour over ribs.
- Roast the ribs for 30 minutes. Baste them with drippings. Continue roasting until the ribs are fork tender, another 15-30 minutes.
