Directions

In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients except the short ribs, oil, lemon, and slaw. Rub the mixture all over the short ribs and let stand for 20 minutes.
Light a grill and oil the grate. Grill the ribs over high heat, turning once, until nicely charred and nearly cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve with lemon wedges and slaw.
