Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef short ribs
  • .5 large white onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 3 T chipotle peppers in adobo sauce chopped
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • .75 tsp black pepper
  • .33 cup lime juice
  • .33 cup beef broth
  • 2 T tomato paste
  • olive oil for pan

Cilantro Lime Rice

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 1 T lime juice
  • .25 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt
  • 1.75 cup water

Pickled Red Onion

  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • .5 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 T sugar
  • 1.5 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Pat ribs dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat skillet to medium/high with olive oil, searing the ribs, turning to brown on all sides. DO NOT cook through.
  • In the last minute of browning, add the onions and garlic to the skillet, then remove and transfer to slow cooker.
  • Add in the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for 8 hours or until meat is cooked through and very tender.
  • Remove the ribs and shred, throwing away all bones, then add meat back to slow cooker.
  • Let cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Cilantro Lime Rice

  • Bring lime/ lemon juice and water to a boil.
  • Stir in rice, then leave covered on low for 20 minutes until rice is fully cooked.
  • Stir in the rest of the ingredients.

Pickled Red Onion

  • Slice onion and place in jar.
  • Whisk together the rest of the ingredients in a bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve then pour over onion.
  • Let sit at room temperature for an hour before serving.

Notes

Serve over a half cup of rice and garnish with pickled red onion and perhaps some sliced radishes and avocado.
Keep in mind, once cooked and bones are removed, there will be about a 50% reduction in weight. This should yield approximately 4oz cooked beef per serving.
