Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the short ribs completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, ground ginger, and turmeric, then rub the mixture evenly over all sides of the ribs.

Heat the coconut oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, sear the short ribs for 3–4 minutes per side, until a deep mahogany crust forms and the meat releases easily from the pot. Transfer the seared ribs to a plate and set aside.
