Short ribs in a sour sauce are a traditional dish with its roots in Mexican cuisine, although similar variants are found in other Latin American countries, where meats marinated in citrus and spices are prepared. In countries like Mexico, this recipe is usually called "short ribs in sour sauce" or "lemon short ribs," while in places like Argentina and Chile, similar dishes are known as "marinated short ribs." The combination of lemon juice with spices like cumin and chili powder reflects the influence of ancestral techniques for tenderizing the meat and providing a fresh and spicy flavor. This preparation is ideal for those who enjoy intense flavors and the tenderness that the ribs acquire when cooked slowly in acidic marinades.

How to Prepare Short Ribs in a Sour Sauce
Start by placing the beef short ribs in a 4-quart casserole dish or bowl.
Mix the remaining ingredients: lemon juice, onion, steak sauce, garlic, salt, chili powder, cumin, and pepper.
Pour this mixture over the ribs, making sure to coat them well on all sides.
Refrigerate for approximately 1 hour, turning the ribs occasionally so they marinate evenly.
Cover the casserole dish well and cook in the microwave at medium power until the ribs are tender, between 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 hours. It is important to rearrange the ribs every 30 minutes for even cooking.
