MAPLE BOURBON BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
• Pat the short ribs dry and season them generously with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a large, oven safe Dutch oven and place on medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the short ribs and sear until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat until all short ribs have been browned.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion to the pan with the short rib drippings. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the bourbon and maple syrup and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze any stuck bits off the bottom surface. Continue to cook until the liquid is reduced by half, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in the broth, thyme, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Place the short ribs down in the sauce until almost completely covered by the liquid. Add more water or broth if needed to cover the ribs.
• Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and transfer the Dutch Oven to the preheated oven. Cook stirring every 45 minutes until the ribs are fall apart tender, approximately 2.5-3 hours. Carefully transfer the ribs to a serving platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for at least 10 minutes.
• While the short ribs are resting make the glaze by combining the maple syrup and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently until the mixture is reduced to a thick glaze, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
