🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 4 pounds beef short ribs
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium jalapenos, sliced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 12 ounces beer (preferably dark)
• 2 cups beef or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

📝 Instructions

14 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season all sides with salt and black pepper.

3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

4. Sear the short ribs on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if necessary. Remove the short ribs and set aside.

5. Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

6. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced jalapenos, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

7. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute until it deepens in color.

8. Pour in the beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

9. Stir in the beef or chicken broth, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and bay leaves.

10. Return the short ribs to the pot, making sure they are mostly submerged in the liquid.

11. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover with a lid and transfer the Dutch oven to the preheated oven.

12. Bake for 2.5-3 hours, or until the short ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.

13. Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven and discard the bay leaves.

14. Serve the short ribs with their sauce, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the rich sauce.
