Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 large carrots
- 3 large celery stalks
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 8 cups beef broth
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 cups kale
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
Season the beef short ribs with sea salt and black pepper. Brown the ribs in the pot, turning occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes. Remove the ribs and set aside.
Dice the yellow onion, slice the carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same pot, add onions and cook until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot, cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the beef broth and return the short ribs to the pot. Add bay leaves and thyme.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2.5 hours, covered.
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes. After the initial simmering time, add them to the pot and cook for another 20 minutes.
Strip the kale leaves from their central ribs and chop them roughly. Add kale to the pot, cooking for an additional 15 minutes.
Remove the beef ribs, shred the meat off the bones using a fork, and return the meat to the soup.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, taste, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy your nourishing Whole30 Hearty Beef Rib Soup!
