Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove from pot.

  5. Pour in beef stock, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Return short ribs to the pot along with fire-roasted tomatoes and drained beans. Stir well.

  8. If needed, stir in cornmeal gradually while simmering to thicken.
