    🥘 Baked Boneless Short Ribs Ingredients

    In addition to your short ribs, you'll only need two ingredients for these delectable ribs- steak seasoning and barbecue sauce! You can use liquid smoke, too, if you want a really smoky flavor.

    Tall image of baked boneless ingredients.
    • Beef Short Ribs - 2 pounds of boneless beef chuck ribs.
    • Steak Seasoning - 1 tablespoon of steak seasoning. Try out my homemade recipe, or use your favorite brand.
    • BBQ Sauce - ½ cup of your favorite barbecue sauce.
    • Liquid Smoke (optional) - 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke, if desired.

    *Be sure to see the free printable recipe card below for ingredients, exact amounts & instructions with tips!*

    🔪 How To Bake Boneless Short Ribs

    These ribs are simply seasoned, coated in sauce, and then tossed into the oven! All you will need is a baking sheet, some aluminum foil, and a basting brush.

    2 pounds of boneless short ribs are ideal for about 4 servings of meat.

    Process image 2 showing adding sauce to boneless short ribs on a foil lined baking tray.
    1. Prep. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the foil liner or use a wire rack or roasting rack to set the beef ribs on.
    2. Season. Season 2 pounds of boneless beef ribs generously on all sides with 1 tablespoon of steak seasoning and place them on the baking sheet.
    3. Add the sauce. Coat with ½ cup of BBQ sauce (reserve more for serving, do not use the same BBQ sauce that touched the raw beef). If desired, you can mix 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke into the BBQ sauce for an extra smoky flavor.
    4. Bake. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes or until the beef ribs reach your desired level of doneness.
    5. Rest. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Brush with more BBQ sauce if desired, or serve with more for dipping.

    Pair your boneless baked short ribs with some baked macaroni and cheese and baked Parmesan zucchini rounds. Take a look at what to serve with BBQ ribs for more recipe ideas! Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • If you want your ribs to have a slightly crisp yet sticky and caramelized exterior, pop them under the broiler for 3-4 minutes after baking.
    • Your ribs are ready when they have an internal temperature of at least 130°F (55°C). I recommend using a meat thermometer to check, but you could also slice into the thickest rib with a fork and knife.
    • Don't skip the resting period! For the juiciest and most succulent ribs, letting them rest is key!

    🥡 Storing & Reheating

    Leftover baked boneless short ribs can be put in an airtight container or wrapped securely in aluminum foil and refrigerated for up to 4 days.

    Freezing Short Ribs

    Once cooled, wrap your ribs in foil or plastic wrap and place them in a heavy-duty freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months and thawed in the fridge overnight before reheating.

    Reheating Short Ribs

    Line a baking sheet with foil and place the ribs on top in a single layer. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 8-10 minutes or until warmed.

    ❓ FAQ

    How Long Should I Cook Boneless Beef Short Ribs In The Oven?

    Since these ribs are boneless, they will cook much more quickly than their bone-in counterparts. Using 2 pounds of short ribs will only take about 45 minutes in the oven at 375°F (190°C). See my post on beef doneness.

    Where Do Boneless Short Ribs Come From?

    Surprisingly, boneless short ribs don't actually come from the ribs of a cow at all. Instead, they come from the shoulder area (also called the chuck), which is why they are boneless!

    Do Boneless Short Ribs Need To Be Browned Before Baking?

    Nope! This recipe is as easy as it gets, and you don't have to brown them before popping them into the oven! If you want to caramelize the outside, you can always place them under the broiler for a few minutes after baking.

    🥩 What To Serve With Ribs

      These were DEVINE! My husband said it was the best steak I’ve ever made. I used Trader Joe’s coffee BBQ rub for the steak seasoning and did everything according to the recipe. I didn’t top with extra bbq sauce after baking, it was perfect as is. Can’t recommend enough!!
