Time 7h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 dried ancho chiles*, stemmed, seeded, and ribs discarded
1 medium onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon salt, plus extra for seasoning
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
6 pounds beef short ribs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Warm corn tortillas
Mexican crema or sour cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Soak the ancho chiles in boiling water until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and discard the liquid. Transfer the softened chiles to a blender. Add the onion, garlic, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, beef broth, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Puree until smooth.
  • Pat ribs dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown the ribs in 3 batches, turning occasionally, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned ribs to a slow cooker.
  • Pour the sauce over the ribs (liquid should reach about halfway up sides of meat),
  • cover and cook for 7 hours on high until very tender. Allow the ribs to cool slightly in the sauce.
  • Remove the ribs from the sauce. Discard the bones and shred the meat into a large bowl. Skim the fat from the surface and discard. Mix the sauce into the meat and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the meat and sauce into warm corn tortillas and serve with Mexican crema and chopped fresh cilantro.

I'm not a big fan of tacos, but these were really good. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making these again, but I will use less chili powder next time.
