Instructions
Pickled Red Onion
Step 1
Clean and slice the onions, about ¼ inch thick.
Step 2
Place them in a deep container or sealable tupperware. Add all remaining ingredients. Be sure the onions are as submerged as possible considering they float. Allow them to sit in the brine for at least 6 hours before using.
Short Rib Tacos
Step 1
Cut the short ribs into roughly 2 inches by 2 inches chunks.
Step 2
Add all ingredients except the ribs into a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Once mixed add in the rib chunks you just cut. Transfer everything into a dutch oven braising with a tight fitting lid.
Step 4
Braise in the pellet grill at 300ºF heat for roughly 2.5-3 hours until the beef is soft and shreddable with a spoon.
Serve
Shred, place on a tortilla, top with Red Pickled Onion.
Try this beef over a basmati or jasmine rice with naan bread, or for taco night like shown here. Traditionally this dish is served with with tortillas/naan/flatbread for a more Mediterranean feel. We served this Short Rib Vindaloo with pickled red onion, green onions, and avocado slices for a fresh dinner option.
