1 1/2 pounds well-trimmed beef short ribs, cut crosswise 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced *
3 tablespoons green onions, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Combine barbecue sauce, lemon juice, jalapeno peppers and green onion. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade. Place ribs in large plastic bag; add remaining marinade, turning to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 to 8 hours, turning occasionally.
Remove ribs from marinade; discard marinade. Place ribs on grid over medium coals. Grill 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, brushing with marinade. Season with salt and pepper.
Makes 4 appetizer portions.
* Because hot peppers contain oils that can burn your eyes, lips and skin, protect yourself when working working with peppers by covering one or both hands with plastic gloves or bags. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes or face.
