These braised short ribs are the kind of low-and-slow centerpiece that makes the whole house smell incredible — deeply savory, a little sweet, and rich with collagen-thick sauce that clings to every bite. The braising liquid is built from coconut aminos, pomegranate juice, and apple cider vinegar, which together create a complex, glossy sauce without a drop of soy or anything processed. Bone-in ribs are seared until a mahogany crust forms, then nestled into a bed of onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and fresh herbs before spending nearly three hours in the oven until the meat is falling-off-the-bone tender. The braising liquid gets strained and reduced into a silky, spoonable sauce that you'll want to pour over everything on the plate. For anyone navigating poultry-free eating, this is the kind of showstopper recipe that proves you're not missing a thing — beef short ribs this luxurious need absolutely nothing else to carry the meal. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end brightens the whole dish just enough to balance all that richness.

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.
