  • Place the short ribs in a bowl. Sprinkle them with ¼ cup flour and toss until the ribs are coated.
    Heat a cast iron Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pan to medium-high on the stove top. Add 1 Tbsp. oil.
    Once the oil is hot (it should sizzle as the meat hits it) add half of the short ribs along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
    Saute the ribs for 3-4 minutes per side until completely seared. Remove from pan and set aside. Repeat this process with the second half of the ribs.

  • Turn the heat to medium and add another Tbsp. of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and onions to the pan. Grate a 1-inch portion of ginger. Saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
    Return the seared short ribs to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the top along with 1 cup of beef broth. Stir the sauce together. Make sure the ribs are completely submerged in the braising liquid.

Notes

  • Make it gluten free: To keep this recipe gluten free use Tamari or a soy sauce alternative and a gluten free flour blend instead of flour.
