Tender beef short ribs braised in a flavorful sauce of orange, cranberry, ginger, and garlic. A perfect comforting meal for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 4 lbs beef short ribs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Season short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear short ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in orange juice, cranberry sauce, beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Return short ribs to the pot, cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until meat is tender and falling off the bone.
- Remove bay leaf. Skim excess fat from the sauce if desired. Serve short ribs with the sauce spooned over.
- Garnish with fresh orange zest and chopped parsley, if desired.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a thicker sauce, remove the ribs and reduce the sauce on the stovetop.
