    Side Dish Ideas

    Pair your bison short ribs with cold side dishes, such as coleslaw and creamy pasta salad, to offset the hot, filling entrée. Offer rolls or cornbread muffins that diners can use to mop up the sauce.

    For warm side dishes, try baked beans, macaroni and cheese, grilled pickles, hush puppies or green bean casserole.

    Storage

    You can store leftover bison ribs in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Heat them up in the oven and add more barbecue sauce for best results. For longer use, you can freeze ribs in an airtight container for three months or in a vacuum-sealed bag for up to 2 to 3 years.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 5 pounds bone-in bison short ribs
    • 3 tablespoons BBQ dry rub
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
    • 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • ½ cup BBQ sauce

    Instructions
     

    • Rinse the bison short ribs in cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
      5 pounds bone-in bison short ribs
    • Combine the BBQ rub, brown sugar, dried oregano and sea salt in a small bowl.
      3 tablespoons BBQ dry rub, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
    • Brush the ribs with olive oil. Rub the dry seasoning mixture into the ribs.
      2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Transfer the seasoned ribs to a resealable plastic bag. Marinate for 2 hours in the fridge or overnight.
    • Preheat the oven to 275°F. Place the seasoned ribs in a foil-lined baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with another piece of foil and seal the foil together so that the meat will steam.
    • Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 3 ½ to 4 hours, until they've reached an internal temperature of 205°F. The meat should be very tender and fall off the bone.
    • Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce. Set the oven to a low broil. Broil the ribs for about 3 minutes, until the BBQ sauce just starts to bubble and caramelize.

    • Serve!
