Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef short ribs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Season beef short ribs with salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Brown short ribs on all sides, then remove and set aside.

  5. Stir in tomato paste, then add beef broth and orange juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Return short ribs to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the oven.
  7. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours until meat is tender and falling off the bone.
  8. Remove ribs from pot, shred the meat with forks, and discard bones.
  9. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
  10. Assemble tacos by layering shredded beef on each tortilla and topping with cilantro, red onion, radishes, and a squeeze of lime juice.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
