Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place a Dutch oven, over MEDIUM-HIGH heat on the stove.

Season the Short Ribs with salt and pepper. When the Dutch oven is hot, add the tallow and Short Ribs. Allow to sear until golden brown on all sides 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 3
Remove the Short Ribs from the Dutch oven. Add onions and carrots. Sauté until onions become translucent and carrots are softening. Add garlic and stir until fragrant.

Step 4
Next, add the tomato paste, stir until smooth and the vegetables are coated.
-
Step 5
Pour in the stock and deglaze pan, then add cola.

Braise for 3 ½-4 hours or until fork tender. If the beef requires more cooking, add additional beef stock if liquid levels are too low.
