Beef Short Ribs In Chipotle & Green Chile Sauce

1. 1

   Mix first 5 ingredients in bowl; sprinkle all over short ribs. Place ribs on plate; cover and chill at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Heat oil in large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add half of ribs and brown on all sides, about 9 minutes; transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining ribs.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic to same pot; cover and cook until onion is soft, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add broth and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Add tomatoes, lime juice, and chipotle chiles.

4. 4

   Return ribs to pot, meaty side down, in single layer. Bring to boil; cover and cook in oven until ribs are just tender, about 11/2 hours.

5. 5

   Remove pot from oven. Tilt pot; spoon off fat. Place pot over medium heat and simmer uncovered until sauce coats spoon and ribs are very tender, about 25 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool 30 minutes, refrigerate uncovered until cold, cover and keep refrigerated.)

6. 6

   Bring ribs to simmer over medium heat; add chili rings. Simmer until chiles soften, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer ribs and sauce to large bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro; garnish with lime wedges. Serve atop white rice, green chile risotto, cheddar mashed potatoes or alongside chunks of French bread.
