I'd smoke them, then braise, then serve over creamy, cheesy grits...

Brown in a pan (Preferably enamel or cast iron with a lid) and remove.
Add onions, shallots, and garlic to get the sticky bits off the pan. Add tomato paste once veggies are browned. Cook tomato paste for a bit and add beef stock+seasonings until you get a flavor you like.
Add short ribs back to pot and throw covered in the oven on low heat for however long you want. Serve over starch.

John Folse Braised Beef Short-Ribs
PREP TIME: 2 ½ Hours
SERVES: 8



COMMENT:
Braising is a method used on tougher cuts of meat that guarantees tenderness. In addition, this slow-cooked method imparts a wonderful flavor due to the longer cooking time with vegetables, herbs and stock.

INGREDIENTS:

6 pounds beef short-ribs
8 slices bacon, chopped
2 large onions, quartered
3 stalks celery, quartered
3 carrots, sliced
8 cloves garlic, smashed
6 cups beef stock, bouillon or water
1 cup dry red wine
3 sprigs fresh thyme
6 leaves fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste
METHOD:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Season short-ribs well using salt and pepper. In a 10-quart Dutch oven, brown bacon to render fat over medium-high heat. Do not burn. Remove crisp bacon and set aside. In the bacon fat brown short-ribs, 4 at a time, taking care not to burn bacon fat. Once all the ribs are brown add onions, celery, carrots and garlic. Sauté 2-3 minutes to tenderize vegetables. Add beef stock and red wine. Bring to a rolling boil and reduce to simmer. Add cooked bacon, browned short-ribs, thyme and basil. Season stock with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Return the mixture to a rolling boil, cover and place in pre-heated oven. Cook 1 1/2 hours, checking for tenderness. When ribs are fork-tender, remove from stock and set aside. Reduce stock by half. When ready to serve, strain stock, return ribs to the pot along with the sauce and re-heat in pre-heated oven. Ribs may be prepared up to 3 days in advance and remain in the stock until ready to serve.
