Ingredients
Scale
4 pounds beef short ribs
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup bourbon
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Add chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Whisk together balsamic vinegar, bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Pour this mixture into the pot.
Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. Alternatively, cook on the stovetop over low heat for the same duration.
Check the short ribs for tenderness; they should be fork-tender.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the ribs and simmer the sauce on the stovetop until reduced to your desired consistency.
Plate the short ribs, drizzling with the sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
