Ingredients

Servings
  • 1.5 kg short ribs cut into strips about 3-4 cm wide
  • olive oil splash; for browning
  • 410 gram tomatoes peeled and chopped; canned (tin
  • 250 ml beef stock 1 cup
  • 250 ml Coca-Cola 1 cup
  • 250 ml orange juice 1 cup, freshly squeezed
  • 1 -2 Chipotle chilies in Adobo sauce finely chopped (2 Tbsp
  • 3 garlic crushed, cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Coriander
  • 1 Tbsp miso paste optional
  • salt
  • black pepper

To serve (whatever you choose):

  • flour tortilla or flour tacos, quantity as desired
  • cilantro or coriander
  • crème fraîche or sour cream
  • scallion red, chopped
  • avocado sliced, or guacamole
  • lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Season the short ribs well with salt and pepper. Heat a small splash of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and brown the short ribs in batches on all sides. They can be quite fatty, so I like to render off some of the fat at this stage. Set aside.
  2. Heat your slow cooker to high. Add all the other ingredients to the cooking bowl, and add the browned short ribs. Ensure they are submerged in the liquid.
  3. Cook with the lid on for 4.5 - 5 hours on high.
  4. Turn the slow cooker off and allow the fat to settle on the stop. I place two layers of kitchen paper over the surface, allow it to soak up the oil and then discard. I repeat this three times and until most of the oil has been removed.
  5. Remove the ribs and allow to cool. When ready to handle pull the meat off the bone and discard any visible fat and sinew. Pour the liquid into a medium pot or saucepan and cook-off to reduce it by half.
  6. Pour the sauce over the shredded short rib meat and serve warm.

Notes

  • Any leftover meat ca be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. The meat can also be frozen for later use.
