Grilled pasilla dry rub short ribs recipe

Pasilla Short Ribs

Tender short ribs grilled with a pasilla rub are the ultimate Sunday dinner. A pasilla dry rub made with dried pasilla chiles, cumin, salt, oregano, garlic, and onion powder is rubbed on short ribs before grilling.

Ingredients

  • For the Spice Rub
  • 1 dried pasilla pepper stems and seeds removed and broken into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 pounds boneless short ribs

Instructions

  1. In a food processor or spice grinder add pasilla pepper pieces. Pulse or grind until pasilla pepper is finely ground. Combine finely ground pasilla in a bowl with remaining ingredients, stir to combine.
  2. Place short ribs on a baking sheet. Liberally sprinkle pasilla rub to coat all sides and gently rub into short ribs.
  3. Heat your gill to a medium-high heat. Lightly oil your grill grates.
  4. Grill short ribs, about 4 minutes on each side, flipping once and an instant thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the short rib reads 130 for medium-rare. Remove from the grill, allow to rest for 10 minutes, slice against the grain and serve.
