4 -5 lbs beef short ribs, bone in
1 lime, zest and juice
1 cup long grain rice
Dry Rub
2 tablespoons instant minced onion
1 tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika
2 teaspoons instant minced garlic
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves, crushed
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
2 teaspoons fresh coarse ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Mango Sauce
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted and cut into small cubes
1 cup orange juice
1 medium onion, peeled, chopped
3 garlic cloves
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can dice cut tomatoes

1
In a small bowl, prepare the dry rub by thoroughly mixing all ingredients together.
2
Wash the ribs under running water, pat dry, rub the lime juice over ribs; generously rub the dry rub into meat. Cover and refrigerate, allowing ribs to marinade for 4 to 6 hours.
3
Prepare the mango sauce by placing ingredients in a heavy saucepan, make a slit in the pepper with a sharp knife before adding to the pot; bring ingredients to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until mixture is reduced and thick; approximately 20 minutes. Remove the pepper, puree remaining ingredients in blender, stir the lime zest into puree. Place in container and refrigerate until you are ready to prepare the ribs.
4
Remove meat from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking time and allow it to stand at room temperature. Preheat broiler on high, spray a broiling pan with cooking spray, place the ribs on prepared pan, broil until meat browns, and turn as needed in order for all sides to brown evenly.
5
Remove meat from oven, place in heavy pot, pour mango sauce over meat, cover and cook at 300 degrees for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until meat is tender. Several times during the cooking process, skim fat from broth.
6
Cook the rice as per package directions, remove meat from sauce, skim additional fat if needed, pour sauce into small bowl and serve as a dipping sauce for the ribs or if serving as a main course, place ribs on top of cooked rice and spoon the sauce over. Enjoy!
