Tips
- Searing short ribs in an air fryer is a safer and easier alternative to traditional searing.
- If abstaining from alcohol, red wine can be substituted with pomegranate juice or alcohol-free red wine.
- Finding mirepoix was the inspiration for the dish; air frying it mimics sautéing.
- Do not be concerned about the braising liquid evaporating and becoming thick, as this is desired for flavor.
- You can choose to skim the fat from the sauce for a different consistency.
- A little cross-contamination never hurt nobody, just kidding.
