Ingredients:
- 1 head of garlic
- 4 1/2 pounds short rib of beef
- 3 quarts water
- 1 onion, quartered

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions:
Prep Work:
- Preheat: Oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Garlic: Cut 1 head of garlic crosswise in half.
- Cook Ribs: In a large pot, combine ribs, water, and quartered onion. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer uncovered until the meat is cooked through (about 50 minutes).
- Strain Broth: Remove ribs from pot and strain, reserving 6 cups of meat broth. Discard onion and garlic. Set ribs aside.
Roasting Vegetables:
- Garlic: Wrap the remaining head of garlic tightly in foil and place it directly on the oven rack.
- Tomatoes and Onion: On a rimmed baking sheet, place tomatoes and sliced onion. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 1 hour.
Making the Sauce:
- Prepare Tomato Sauce: Transfer roasted tomatoes and onion to a food processor. Squeeze roasted garlic into the processor. Blend until smooth. Set tomato sauce aside.
- Prepare Chili Sauce: Place guajillo and ancho chilies in a medium bowl. Add 4 cups of reserved meat broth. Let stand for 30 minutes, then transfer the mixture to the processor and blend until smooth. Strain the chili sauce into a medium bowl, pressing on solids with a rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.
Cooking the Ribs:
- Heat Oil: In a heavy large pot over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Simmer Sauce: Add chili sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add tomato sauce, cumin, oregano, and cloves. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Final Steps: Add ribs, vinegar, and remaining 2 cups of meat broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens (about 50 minutes).
Serving:
- Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded beautifully, serve your Beef Short Ribs With Red Chili Sauce hot, accompanied by your favorite sides like rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a sprinkle of chili flakes for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy this hearty, spicy dish with loved ones and savor every delicious bite! 🍽️🔥
