-
Preheat oven to 350F.
-
Salt and pepper the short ribs on both sides.
-
In a large Dutch oven, heat the canola oil over high heat.
-
Add the short ribs to the Dutch oven and brown well, turning once.
-
Once the ribs are browned well on both sides, remove from the Dutch oven and set aside.
-
Place the bacon into the Dutch oven and quickly brown, then remove and set aside with the beef.
-
Add the onion to the Dutch oven and cook over high heat until translucent. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery and continue to cook for around 3-5 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
-
Keeping the heat up to high, add the beef broth, Guinness, and Marsala to the Dutch oven and deglaze it, bringing the liquid to a simmer and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
-
Place the ribs, bacon, thyme, rosemary, and vegetables into the Dutch oven, place the lid on the pan, and place it into the oven.
-
Cook at 300F for at least 2-3 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
-
Let the meat cool slightly, then remove it from the pan and place into a large bowl. Using two forks, shred the ribs off the bone and into small pieces, removing the bones while you do this.
-
Skim the fat off the top of the braising liquid. At this point, you can then pour the liquid into a container and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes until the fat rises to the top and can be skimmed off easily.
-
Serve the shredded meat in corn tortillas and garnish with cilantro, queso fresco, avocado, pickled onion, and whatever other stuff you like to put on tacos!
