Boneless Pork Ribs (Friday's dinner)

When Jared and I put together last week's menu, we were not planning to visit Philly for the weekend and catching up with my sister at Villanova. So, our menu was slightly modified and the Boneless Ribs were made on Friday. We left just after work and since Jared was home, he had dinner ready for me when I got home. :) Sadly, I was not feeling very well, so I only ate a few bites of his dinner, right off of his plate. We really enjoyed the flavor of the ribs.

Ingredients:
4 pounds boneless beef short ribs, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup tomato juice
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground black pepper


Directions:
1) Preheat the oven broiler.
2) Place ribs on a rack in a broiler pan, and broil on top oven rack 15 minutes, or until well browned. Remove from heat, and transfer to a baking dish. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
3) In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the tomato sauce, tomato juice, onion, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Season with cinnamon, cloves, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Pour over the ribs in the baking dish.
4) Bake ribs in the 350 degrees oven 45 minutes, or until meat pulls apart easily with a fork and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees.

Considering the fact that Jared made the meal by himself, and had to eat much of it alone, he still liked the ribs. Maybe a bit more sauce next time?

Wife Rating: A
Of the few bites that I ate, I would say this is a keeper. I liked the flavor and the tenderness of the meat.

We'll definitely try this again in the future.
