4 servings
- 3 ½ lb bone-in beef short ribs (about 8 pieces)
- 1 ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 6 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- 2 cups unfiltered apple cider (not hard cider)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ cups bone broth
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the short ribs thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season all over with the sea salt.

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 on all meaty sides 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.
