Ingredients
- 4 to 5 pounds halal-certified beef short ribs (or alternative halal meat of choice)
- 2 cups halal-certified barbecue sauce (no alcohol)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 2 teaspoons halal-certified Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a large zip-lock bag, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper. Seal and knead gently to mix thoroughly.
- Coat the ribs: Add the halal-certified beef short ribs to the zip-lock bag. Seal again and shake to evenly coat the ribs with the sauce mixture.
- Prepare the crockpot: Lightly spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange ribs in crockpot: Transfer the coated ribs to the crockpot in a single layer if possible. Pour ¾ of the sauce over them, reserving the rest for serving.
- Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on high for 4–5 hours or on low for 7–9 hours, depending on desired tenderness.
- Serve: Carefully remove ribs and serve hot with the reserved sauce for dipping or drizzling.
