About

Short ribs are another cut of beef that lends itself to long, slow braising to develop mouthwatering flavors as the meat fibers break down and become meltingly tender. I serve them at Dos Caminos with Elote de la Calle and tortillas for diners to make their own tacos.

Ingredients

8 beef short ribs, about 6 to 8 pounds
4 tablespoons kosher salt

Method

Heat the oven to 350°F.
Season the short ribs generously with kosher salt. Lay them side by side in a large heavy roasting pan. Scatter the chiles de árbol, onion, carrot, and bay leaf on top of the meat.
In a small bowl, stir together the vinegar, wine, brown
