Ingredients

4 lbs beef short ribs

2 cups strong brewed coffee

1 cup beef broth

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp olive oil

1 large onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

2 bay leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and sear on all sides until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove ribs and set aside.

3. In the same pot, add onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

4. Stir in the brewed coffee, beef broth, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a simmer.

5. Return the short ribs to the pot, nestling them into the liquid. Add rosemary and bay leaves.

6. Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are fork-tender.

7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
