Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 4 pounds beef short ribs (bone-in), trimmed of fat Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil ½ cup barbecue sauce, plus additional for serving Directions Mix brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Cut ribs into equal portions. Generously rub spice mixture onto all surfaces of ribs; place ribs in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Cover and refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Preheat grill to medium indirect heat, 375 to 400 degrees F (190 to 200 degrees C). Center one portion ribs on a 12x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil; add 2 ice cubes. Bring up the foil sides, then double-fold the top and ends to seal the packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make 3 more packets. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Arrange packets over indirect heat on the preheated grill. Cover and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Uncover the grill. Keeping the foil packets on the grill, open them carefully by cutting along the top folds with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape; then proceed to open packets fully. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Brush ribs with about 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Move packets over direct heat, cover, and continue grilling, turning once, until ribs are browned and crisp, about 5 minutes more.
