Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs bone-in beef short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or butter
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ⅓ cup coconut aminos or soy sauce if keto
  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cups beef or bone broth
  • 1 bundle of fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 tablespoons flour gluten-free, if needed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Short Ribs:

  • Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat the ghee or butter in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 12–15 minutes. Remove the ribs from the pot and set them aside on a plate.

Sauté Aromatics:

  • In the same pot, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.

Deglaze the Pot:

  • Pour in the coconut aminos and balsamic vinegar. Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits, which will add flavor to the dish.

Add Flavor and Liquid:

  • Stir in the tomato paste and flour, whisking until well combined. Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking to ensure a smooth sauce.

Assemble and Braise:

  • Return the short ribs to the pot, nestling them into the sauce. Add the thyme bundle and bay leaf. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to a preheated oven at 350°F.

Cook to Tender Perfection:

  • Braise the short ribs in the oven for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.

Serve:

  • Discard the thyme bundle and bay leaf before serving. Serve the ribs with their rich sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite sides.
