Ingredients
  

  • 10 to 12 Beef Short Ribs
  • 2 to 4 Tbsp W'ham Seasoning - Cajun
  • 1/2 Cup W'ham Sauce - Marinade
  • 16 oz Kettle & Fire Beef Stock
  • 5 to 6 whole carrots – peeled

Method
 

  1. Trim any excess fat from top of short ribs
    Raw beef short ribs trimmed and laid out on a cutting board beside bottles of W'ham seasoning and W'ham Marinade

  3. Sprinkle W'ham Seasoning - Cajun or Original Mild on all side of ribs, place in container and set aside

  4. Prepare your choice of cooking equipment. We like the versatility of the Big Green Egg and the flavor of Royal Oak Charcoal for this recipe, but any grill or cooker will work just fine. Allow the temperature to reach 400° or 500° if using the Egg and arrange your charcoal and grates for direct heat cooking.

  5. While your cooker is heating up prepare the vegetables and set aside

  6. Place your seasoned short ribs directly on the grate bone side down and sear for 5 minutes, then flip over on each side every 5 minutes to develop a crust and allow the seasoning to begin to caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside.
