Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat 2 lbs beef short ribs dry, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear ribs for 3 minutes per side until browned. Remove ribs and set aside.
Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 diced onion to the skillet, sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1/2 cup apple cider.
Step 4: Return ribs to skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Cover with foil and roast for 2.5 hours until meat is fork-tender.
Step 5: Remove foil, increase oven to 375°F, and broil for 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze. Stir in 1 tbsp Dijon mustard before serving.
