Y’all, let me tell you about a mouthwatering Texas dinner that’ll have your family fighting over the last bite! This isn’t just any ordinary meal – it’s my famous Smoky BBQ-Glazed Beef Short Ribs with Jalapeño Cream Corn that’ll make your taste buds do the two-step! 💃
Listen up, honey, because this recipe is about to change your dinner game forever. Trust me, I’ve served this at countless family gatherings, and my mother-in-law (bless her heart) finally admitted my cooking was “decent” – and that’s saying something!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 4 lbs beef short ribs
– 2 tablespoons Texas-style dry rub
– 1 cup BBQ sauce (homemade is best, but I won’t judge!)
– 4 ears of fresh corn
– 2 jalapeños (seeds removed if you’re feeling gentle)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 4 tablespoons butter
– Salt and pepper to your heart’s content
Now, let’s get cookin’!
1. First things first, rub those ribs down with your dry rub like you mean it! Let them sit and get happy for at least 2 hours (overnight if you’re Type A like me).
1. Heat your smoker to 250°F (or oven if you must, but don’t tell anyone I said that).
1. Smoke those beautiful ribs for about 4 hours until they’re tender enough to make you weak in the knees.
1. While the ribs are doing their thing, let’s make that cream corn that’ll have everyone begging for the recipe!

1. Cut the corn off the cob (careful with those kernels – they like to play jump and scatter!).
1. Dice those jalapeños fine (remember to wear gloves unless you enjoy a spicy surprise when you rub your eyes later).
1. In a large skillet, melt that butter and sauté the corn and jalapeños until they’re getting cozy together.
1. Pour in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer until it’s thicker than a Texas summer humidity.
1. When the ribs are almost done, brush them with BBQ sauce and let them caramelize for about 15 minutes.
Serve these bad boys up with the cream corn, and watch as your dinner guests fall into a food coma of pure bliss! This meal pairs perfectly with an ice-cold beer or sweet tea (I won’t tell if you spike it 😘).
