Costela

Savor the rich, smoky flavors of tender beef ribs slow-cooked to perfection with garlic and paprika. This hearty dish is ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner or a gathering with friends.

• 1 kg beef ribs
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 bunch fresh parsley

Method

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).

2. 2

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef ribs and sear them until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove the ribs and set them aside. In the same pot, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper into the pot, stirring well to combine.

5. 5

   Return the beef ribs to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. 6

   Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let it braise for about 3-4 hours, until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.

7. 7

   Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving.

8. 8

   Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Costela with rice and beans or your favorite side dishes.
