## Ingredients

- 4 bone-in beef short ribs
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp chili flakes
- 0 green onions
- 0 fresh cilantro

## Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels, then season them generously with salt and black pepper.
3. Sear the ribs on all sides until deeply browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the ribs to a plate.
4. In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and sauté the onions until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in the tomato paste, letting it cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor.
6. Deglaze the pot by adding the soy sauce and vinegar, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
7. Add the beef broth, brown sugar, bay leaves, paprika, and chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
8. Return the short ribs to the pot, arranging them so they're mostly submerged in the liquid.
9. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5-3 hours, or until the ribs are fall-apart tender.
10. Once done, skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt or a splash more vinegar if needed.
11. Serve the ribs with steamed white rice or creamy mashed potatoes, spooning plenty of the savory adobo sauce over the top. Garnish with green onions and cilantro if desired.
