Notes
- For best results, use bone in short ribs. They have more flavor than boneless.
- Both pomegranate juice and red wine work well in this recipe. If necessary, replace with more beef broth.
- The tapioca flour slurry will thicken the sauce. Continue stirring until sauce has reached desired thickness.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freeze for up to 2 months.
