Ingredients

• 3 lbs Beef short ribs
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 medium Fresh mango
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Ground ginger
• 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
• 2 cups Beef stock
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the short ribs in batches until they are browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 6

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and sauté the onions until they soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Peel and dice the mangoes, then blend them into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.

Step 9

Add the mango puree, orange juice, soy sauce, honey, ground ginger, and red chili flakes to the pot, stirring to combine.

Step 10

Pour in the beef stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 11

Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.

Step 12

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise the short ribs for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.

Step 13

Remove the pot from the oven and carefully transfer the ribs to a serving platter.

Step 14

Simmer the remaining sauce in the pot on the stovetop over medium heat for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 15

Pour the sauce over the short ribs and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 16

Serve warm with rice, mashed potatoes, or your preferred side dish.
