The spices in these ribs is fabulous! Like Mike, I cut the recipe in half but made all the sauce, and glad I did! So tasty! I, too, had to use bone-in short ribs because that's all I could find. We love the bone-in better anyway, so I wouldn't change a thing. The cooking time is spot-on, as the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender. These are 10-stars all the way!

This is an excellent recipe but I couldn't find the right ingredients. I could only find flanken cut ribs with bones. The rub was overpowering on the flanken ribs and I didn't adjust the cooking time enough so the flanken ribs were overcooked. I need to find the right kind of ribs and try it again.

Delicious and literally finger licking good. I couldn't believe how expensive beef short ribs were at the market and opted to go with a slab of 7-bone choice chuck roast. It worked out perfectly. Came out tender with wonderful taste and aroma that filled the house. We loved it and my husband praised it. A do again for sure. Thank you, ellie, for sharing. Made it for Best of 2021 as recommended by Northwest Gal.

Delicious! I only left my ribs in the spices for 6 hours, then put on the charcoal grill outside before baking. I could only find bone in short ribs, and they worked out just perfectly. So glad I made these delicious ribs!

Best short ribs I have had in years. I cut recipe in half, but wish I had used the original amount of sauce. I also had to use bone-in, as I couldn't find boneless. Will be making these again.

Wow, this was fabulous! I couldn't find any boneless ribs, so I had to go with bone-in short ribs, but it worked out just fine anyway. The warm Moroccan spices added a wonderful flavor to the short ribs, and I scooped up some of the pan sauce and spooned it over the ribs, to add a bit more flavor to each bite. I roasted the ribs for the exact amount of time listed, and they were perfectly fall-off-the-bone tender. We all really enjoyed these short ribs, and I know I'll make this recipe again. I served some side dishes of buttered peas with sautéed onions and roasted potatoes that were tossed with some of the same spices called for in the Short Rib recipe. And it was a very good dinner. Thanks, ellie. We loved this recipe!
