Ingredients
- 8 dried New Mexico chiles
- 4 garlic cloves
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 8 1"-thick cross-cut beef short ribs (flanken style; about 5 pounds)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 pounds fingerling or new potatoes
- 4 large carrots (about 3/4 pound), peeled, cut into 2" pieces
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup pitted green olives (such as Castelvetrano or Cerignola)
- 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Preparation
Toast chiles in a dry large skillet over medium heat until slightly puffed and lightly darkened on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove from skillet; let cool. Stem chiles and halve lengthwise; discard seeds. Place in a medium bowl and add boiling water to cover. Let chiles stand until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain.
Combine chiles, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oil, salt, coriander, and cumin in a blender or food processor; purée until marinade is smooth.
Toss short ribs and onion with marinade in a shallow baking dish; cover dish and chill ribs overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Transfer onion, short ribs, and marinade to a large heavy pot. Add broth. Bring to a boil on stove-top and cover pot. Transfer to oven and braise ribs for 2 hours.
Add potatoes, carrots, and tomato paste (keep meat and vegetables submerged); cover and return to oven. Continue braising until meat is fork-tender and separates easily from the bone and vegetables are soft, 50-60 minutes longer.
Transfer short ribs and vegetables to a large rimmed baking sheet. Cover baking sheet with foil. Strain cooking liquid into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, skimming fat from surface occasionally, until sauce is reduced to 4 cups, 8-10 minutes.
