Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Gather ingredients and equipment.
  2. Season the beef short ribs generously with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a pot. Sear short ribs for 4 minutes on each side.
  4. Sauté diced yellow onion for about 5 minutes, then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Stir in beef stock, bourbon, maple syrup, tamari, apple cider vinegar, and mustard; simmer gently.
  6. Return seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are well-submerged in the sauce.
  7. Cover the pot and braise in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until fork-tender.
  8. Remove from oven, let ribs rest for 10 minutes, and skim excess fat from sauce before serving.
