This recipe begins with boneless beef brief ribs, trimmed of extra fats and connective tissue (which might toughen throughout cooking). The ribs are rubbed with a mixture of smoked paprika, chili powder, kosher salt, and garlic. This can infuse them with taste earlier than including the barbecue sauce. For the sauce, you will want mild brown sugar, blueberry jam, candy Thai chili sauce, canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and entire grain mustard together with slightly extra smoked paprika.
