They are such an awesome dish to serve to guests that you are trying to impress because they require minimal effort but are so fall apart tender and full of flavour that you can be assured you will receive rave reviews from everyone.

In this recipe the ribs are slowly cooked in an Asian flavoured sauce made with orange, chili peppers and lots of ginger. The short ribs are cooked until they are fall off the bone tender, the sauce has thickened and the flavours have developed into a delicious richness.

You can cook the short ribs up to two days in advance and then simply warm them in the oven and the sauce in a pot on the stove before serving. I like serving these with coconut and lime cauliflower rice and some steamed veggies and then pouring the delicious sauce over everything.

For the first few years that I lived in the UK I was shocked at how hard it was to find short ribs, a cut of meat which you can find everywhere in North America. I was particularly frustrated when many butchers would give me a blank stare when I requested the cut. It turns out that short ribs primarily go by the name of Jacobs Ladder in the UK, hopefully a handy for any expats struggling to find this cut of meat.

Be sure to serve this cozy meal with the cauliflower rice!
