10 beef short ribs (about 5 inches by 2 1/2 inches)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 1/4 cups Nancy's Quick Fix BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups beef broth
12 cloves garlic, smashed
1 onion, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 bottle stout beer
3 cups chunky medium salsa, such as Pace
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons sweet paprika

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Season the beef ribs with salt and pepper and place on a large baking sheet. Roast until the ribs start to brown, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together Nancy's Quick Fix BBQ Sauce, the broth, garlic, onions and beer in a large Dutch oven and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Transfer the browned ribs to the Dutch oven meat-side down. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F, cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Braise the ribs until tender and cooked through, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Prepare a grill for medium heat.
Put the ribs on the grill (reserve the sauce in the pot) and grill, turning occasionally, until caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with the reserved sauce and serve.
Put the salsa, sugar, cumin and paprika in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, 8 to 10 minutes.
