Youssuf's Halal Braised Short Ribs Recipe

It's been a while since Youssuf cooked an amazing recipe for us- he is a true meat explorer (see how he smoked beef back ribs for the first time here)! So when he shared his recent short ribs experiment using only halal ingredients, we thought we needed to share ASAP!

THE METHOD

STEP 1:  Season ribs generously with salt and pepper. Sear the ribs well on a roasting pan either on an electric grill or gas stove

STEP 2:  In the same roasting pan, add one tbsp of tomato paste and make sure to beat it into the ribs' juices to cook the paste. Add the garlic. It's okay if they break apart a bit!

STEP 3: Add your deglazing liquid (cranberry juice or grape juice is fine too). On a low heat, reduce liquid by about half.

Step 4: Add your beef stock or broth to an inch below the top of ribs. Cover with foil and put inside a preheated oven at 170-180 C for 2.5 hours

Step 5: Remove the ribs and place on a plate, removing the bones if you like (it's very satisfying)! Pour all the cooking fluids through a sieve and mash the garlic through the sieve which will add a beautiful deep and slightly sweet taste to the sauce. Make sure you scrape all the garlic off the bottom of the sieve! Pour some sauce on each ribs. Sprinkle some flaky salt and ENJOY!
