Coffee-Marinated Bison Short Ribs

• 4 cups water
• 3 cups chilled strong brewed coffee
• 1/2 cup coarse kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons (packed) dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cups ice cubes
• 4 pounds bison (often labeled buffalo) short ribs, cut between ribs to separate
• 1/4 cup chopped bacon (about 1 1/2 ounces)
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 1/2 cup chopped shallots
• 6 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 small jalapeno chile, seeded, chopped
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee
• 1 cup low-salt chicken broth
• 1/4 cup chili sauce (such as Heinz) or ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

1. Stir 4 cups water, coffee, 1/2 cup coarse salt, and sugar in large bowl until salt and sugar dissolve. Add syrup and next 3 ingredients; stir until ice melts. Add ribs. Place plate atop ribs to keep submerged. Cover and chill 4 to 6 hours. Drain ribs; discard marinade. DO AHEAD:
2. Preheat oven to 325u0b0F. Saute bacon in heavy large wide ovenproof pot over medium heat until beginning to brown. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to plate. Increase heat to medium-high. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook ribs until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer to large plate. Add onions, shallots, garlic, and jalapeno to pot. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add coffee and broth; stir, scraping up browned bits. Add chili sauce and all remaining ingredients; bring to boil. Add bacon and ribs, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise until meat is tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. DO AHEAD:
3. Transfer ribs to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Spoon fat from surface of sauce. Boil sauce until reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over ribs.
