Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds bone-in short ribs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 1 medium carrot (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup apple cider (or bourbon barley tea)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 cups beef stock (or vegetable stock)

Instructions

  1. Season short ribs with salt, pepper, and dust with flour. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat and sear the ribs until browned; set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté diced onion, celery, and carrot until softened. Stir in tomato paste and garlic; cook until fragrant.
  3. Add apple cider and maple syrup to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits.
  4. Return short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in liquid. Bring to a simmer, cover tightly, and transfer to a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C). Braise for about three hours until tender.
  5. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, drizzling with braising liquid for added flavor.
