BBQ Bourbon Short Ribs

There are quite a few ingredients but trust me the end product is well worth it! Never go back to that bottled stuff. Remember that it is best preserved in the Freezer and will last you over 17 YEARS! Chef Jean-Pierre.

6 pounds Beef Short Ribs
1 cup Flour seasoned with salt and pepper
1 tablespoon Clarified Butter or Garlic Olive Oil (See video below)

Method.

Preheat Oven to 190°C
Pat ribs dry and dredge them in seasoned flour. In a frying pan, heat some clarified butter (or olive oil if you do not have the butter) and sear the ribs until golden brown. Remove from the pot and reserve.
In an oven proof pot, add some galic olive oil when hot add the chopped onions and sweat them for 5 minutes until a golden brown. Add the leeks, celery and all the peppers and sweat for 2 minutes. Add the jalapeno chili peppers, garlic and when fragrant add all the remaining ingredients except the liquid smoke and the Bourbon.
Add the Ribs and cook for about 2 ½ to 3 hours or until a fork tender. Add the liquid smoke and the Bourbon and adjust seasoning.
