Last week I made one of Marcela Valladolid's recipes for Sweet & Spicy Short Rib Tacos. It was out of this world delicious! I did make a few changes so my little ones would enjoy it.
Here's what what I did:
Sweet & Spicy Short Rib Tacos
6 short ribs
1-14 oz can beef broth
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
1 jalapeno, seeds and membranes removed
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper
oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in a skillet. Season broth sides of short ribs with salt and pepper and brown in skillet, 3 at a time. Place the browned short ribs into the bottom of a Dutch oven.
In a blender or food processor, puree beef broth, onion, garlic, brown sugar, jalapeno and vinegar.
Pour the pureed mixture over the short ribs. Add lid to Dutch oven and bake for 2-1/2 hours.
Remove bones and fat from meat and shred the beef. Stir the shredded beef and remaining pureed mixture together; set aside.
Heat corn tortillas in cast iron skillet and place in a tin foil pocket to keep warm. Fix your tacos how you like them and enjoy with Mexican Rice and Beans.
I thought these were a little sweet and will probably reduce the amount brown sugar since I didn't use a spicy pepper.
Enjoy!
*This was originally done in the crock pot, but I chose to bake it in the oven. If you want to do this in the slow cooker, cook on high for 4-5 hours or low 6-7 hours.
