Braised Short Rib Taco Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Short Ribs

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear them on all sides until browned. Remove the ribs and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Braise the Ribs

   Add the short ribs back into the pot along with the beef broth, red wine, bay leaves, and cumin. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Allow to braise for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

4. 4

   Shred the Meat

   Once cooked, remove the short ribs from the pot and shred the meat using two forks. Discard the bones and bay leaves.

5. 5

   Assemble the Tacos

   Warm the taco shells according to package instructions. Fill each shell with shredded short rib meat, then top with shredded lettuce, pickled onions, crumbled goat cheese, and a drizzle of smoked mayo.

   Serve the tacos warm and enjoy!
