Method
Braised Beef Short Ribs
Prepare the Ribs
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Sear the Ribs
In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Deglaze the Pot
Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, bay leaves, and thyme.
Braise the Ribs
Return the seared ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven. Braise for 12 hours.
Finish and Rest
After 12 hours, remove the pot from the oven. Let the ribs rest in the braising liquid for 30 minutes before serving.
Sweet Potato Fries
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
While the ribs are braising, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potato strips in olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Bake the Fries
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
