Instructions

Step 1: Mix 2 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp black pepper in a bowl to create the Brazilian spiced rub.
Step 2: Rub the 3 lbs beef ribs all over with 2 tbsp olive oil, then coat evenly with the spice blend. Wrap ribs tightly in foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 3: Preheat oven to 300°F. Place the wrapped ribs on a roasting pan and slow cook for 3 1/2 hours until meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Step 4: Carefully remove ribs from foil and transfer to a baking sheet. Pour 1 cup beef broth into the foil packet, scraping to loosen browned bits, then pour this pan sauce over ribs.
Step 5: Broil ribs for 3-5 minutes to caramelize the surface. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
