These Paleo Braised Short Ribs are fall off the bone, melt in your mouth tender! Short ribs are a cut of meat from the rib, chuck, plate or brisket areas of a cattle. Short ribs can be boneless or bone in; I used bone in for this recipe. Individually sliced short ribs are known as English cut. Braise means to quickly fry food then slowly cook it while covered. In this case, the short ribs are quickly seared in olive oil then cooked for several hours in a Dutch oven. They are extra hearty, savory, and filled with so much flavor!
