Prep Time: | 10 min |
Cook Time: | 25 min |
Ingredients:
-
- 1/3 cup unsalted, roasted almonds
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 cup roasted red peppers from a jar, preferably piquillo, drained
- 2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo, seeded
- 2 tbsp Sherry vinegar
- Kosher salt
- vegetable oil (for grilling)
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless beef short ribs (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
- freshly ground black peppe
Preparation:
- Pulse almonds and sesame seeds in a food processor until finely chopped.
Add red peppers, chipotle chiles, and vinegar and puree until well
combined; season mole with salt.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Season short
ribs with salt and pepper and toss on a rimmed baking sheet with
1/3 cup mole; set remaining mole aside for serving.
- Grill short ribs, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides and
an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of meat
registers 130F for medium-rare, 8-10 mins.
- Transfer short ribs to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
Thinly slice ribs against the grain and serve with reserved mole
alongside.
