Steps to make Pomegranate Braised Short Ribs:

  4. While the ribs are roasting prepare the other ingredients.
  5. When the ribs are about 5 minutes from done, heat 1 Tbsp of the beef fat in a dutch oven over high heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook until translucent (~5 min)
  6. Add the garlic and ras el hanout and cook another 30 sec.
  7. Add the water and beef bouillon and turn the heat to low.
