Beef Short Ribs and Accompaniments

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Short Ribs

    Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the Liquids

    Return the short ribs to the pot. Add the beef broth, canned tomatoes, and mole sauce. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Braise the Ribs

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

  5. 5

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender.

  6. 6

    Make the Esquites

    In a skillet, cook the corn over medium heat until slightly charred. Remove from heat and mix with mayonnaise, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the beef short ribs with roasted sweet potatoes and esquites on the side.
