Ingredients:

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp paprika

2 tbsp cumin

1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp fresh garlic, finely chopped

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp salt

1 tsp cayenne

1 tsp pepper
1 tsp red chili flakes

4 pounds of short ribs, cut into 4 slabs

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 200˚F. Rinse the slabs and pat them dry. Combine the brown sugar, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, cayenne and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Center a slab of the ribs on a large piece of tin foil. Pat the spice rub over the ribs, rubbing it in on all sides. Place the ribs meat-side down on the foil and fold tightly into a packet. Repeat for the remaining slabs.

Place the packets on a baking sheet and put it in the oven. Bake the ribs for 4 hours, then reduce the heat to 175˚F and bake for 2 more hours, or until a fork easily penetrates the meat.
Open the packets and pour the juices into a saucepan. Bring the juices to a simmer over medium heat and reduce by about half, until they cling to a spoon. Skim the fat off the top and adjust seasonings.

Place the ribs, uncovered, in the broiler on high for 3-5 minutes,  or until they have charred slightly. Drizzle the sauce over them, then serv
