Ingredients
  

Short Ribs
  • 4 pounds bone-in beef short ribs (English Style cut)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 large plum, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • ¼ cup pickled jalapenos
  • ½ cup orange juice (about 2 medium oranges)
  • 14 ounces dark beer
  • 2 cups beef broth
Plum Sauce
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 4 teaspoons plum jam
  • 2 tablespoons hot chili sauce like sriracha
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Toppings
  • (8) 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 1 plum, chopped
  • 1 medium corn on the cob, cut and lightly sauteed
  • ½ cup red cabbage, chopped
  • ⅓ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 12 grape tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium jalapeno, minced
  • 1 lime, sliced

Instructions
 

Short Ribs
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Generously salt and pepper the short ribs all over and add them to the pan, browning them on all sides. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Move each browned rib to a large Dutch oven.
  • Add the onions and plums to the skillet and cook until wilted. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the onions and garlic to the Dutch oven.
  • Stir in the cumin, oregano, and thyme. Add the jalapenos, orange juice, beer, and beef stock. Heat until the beer is hot.
  • Cover with the lid and bake for 3-4 hours, stirring once during baking. Add extra stock if needed. The short ribs are done when they can be pulled easily from the bone.
  • Pull the lean meat from the bones and fat. Rehydrate with some of the cooking broth. Cover the meat so it doesn't dry out.
Plum Sauce
  • Place all the ingredients into a mini food processor. Blend until smooth.
Toppings
  • Prepare the toppings while the short ribs cook.
  • Divide the beef between the tortillas. Divide the toppings and add to each taco. Finish by adding the sauce. Garnish with a lime slice. Squeeze the lime onto the taco just before eating.
