Braised beef short ribs are the kind of deeply satisfying, fall-off-the-bone comfort food that feels like it took serious culinary skill ā and honestly, this version delivers exactly that. The ribs are rubbed with sea salt, turmeric, and ginger before getting a hard sear in coconut oil, building a rich, caramelized crust that sets the whole dish up for success. From there, pomegranate juice, apple cider vinegar, bone broth, and coconut aminos create a braising liquid that is tangy, savory, and just a little sweet, with rosemary and thyme weaving through every bite. Lupin flour and lupin-based additives have quietly crept into a surprising number of packaged broths, sauces, and seasoning blends, so cooking from scratch with clean, whole ingredients like these is the most reliable way to keep a dish genuinely safe. Everything here ā the aromatics, the herbs, the carefully chosen liquids ā is straightforward and easy to verify at the store. After a long, slow braise in the oven, the meat becomes so tender it practically melts into the glossy, vegetable-studded sauce spooned over the top. Serve it as-is or alongside your favorite simple sides, and don't skip the fresh parsley ā it brightens the whole plate beautifully.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the short ribs completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, turmeric, and ginger, then rub the mixture evenly over all sides of the ribs.
Heat the coconut oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, sear the short ribs for 3ā4 minutes per side until deeply browned on all four sides, then transfer to a plate. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of fat from the pot.
