ingredients
- 2 lbs beef short ribs
- 4 green chilies, roasted and peeled
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
steps
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Season the beef short ribs generously with salt and black pepper.
- 2.
In a large oven-safe pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
- 3.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened. Add the tomato paste, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir for a minute until fragrant.
- 4.
Roughly chop the roasted green chilies and add them to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer.
- 5.
Return the short ribs to the pot, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven. Let it braise for 2 to 2.5 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
- 6.
Remove the pot from the oven and carefully take out the beef ribs. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce. If desired, blend the sauce to create a smooth texture.
- 7.
Place the pot back on the stove over medium-high heat. Simmer the sauce until it thickens slightly. Add around 1/2 cup heavy cream for thicker gravy texture if desired.
- 8.
Return the beef ribs to the pot and coat them with the green chili sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- 9.
Serve the spicy green chili beef ribs over rice or warm tortillas, drizzling with extra sauce. Enjoy the tantalizing flavors and tender meat.
