Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs shorts ribs (about 8–10 ribs)
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 c. coconut flour
- 4 tbsp. beef tallow
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 c. baby carrots, whole
- 4 c. beef broth, separated
- 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- Season ribs generously with salt and pepper.

- Remove the ribs and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium.
- Add the onion and carrots to the Dutch oven, and cook for 2 minutes until the onion begins to turn translucent.
- Add 1 cup of beef broth and deglaze the pan. Bring everything to a boil and cook for 2 more minutes, scraping all of the crispy bits from the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Add the remaining broth, balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and several turns on a ground pepper grinder.
- Stir everything, taste it, and add more salt if desired.
- Add the ribs back to the Dutch oven. They should be almost completely submerged.

- Reduce heat to 325 and cook for another 30 minutes.
