Beer is one of the best brines for short ribs. It helps break down the meat and makes it super tender, and makes the end product taste that much better. These Beer Brined Beef Short Ribs are perfect for tacos and are a great, quick weeknight meal.

Instructions - Beer Brine 

• Use a large plastic zip bag or bowl.
• Slice & squeeze limes.
• Add beer.
• Tip: add the squeezed lime peels to the zip baggie or bowl for additional flavor and also to squeeze on the Costillas/Beef Short Ribs when grilling.
• Add Chef Merito Carne/Meat Seasoning to taste.
• Slice & add jalapeno.
• Slice & add serrano.
• Mix beer brine thoroughly.
• Add Cebollitas.
• Once the brine is mixed, add it to the Costillas/Beef Short Ribs & sliced Jalapeño.
• Then rest for a minimum of two hours. Best if it rests for 24 hours.

Grilling/Cooking

1. Pre-heat grill to 370°-400°
