1
Prepare the short ribs by cutting them into individual pieces if not already done. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2
Make the ranchera salsa by roasting four Roma tomatoes, three tomatillos, one jalapeño, and a quarter of an onion until they are charred and tender all around.
3
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Lightly toast the chile morita in a dry pan until fragrant, being careful not to burn them, then add to the blender.
4
Add three garlic cloves, a handful of cilantro, salt, black pepper, one teaspoon of ground cumin, one teaspoon of oregano, and three-quarters cup of water to the blender. Blend until smooth.
5
Heat oil in a large pan until hot. Working in batches, sear the short ribs for two minutes per side until browned. Transfer the seared ribs to a plate and set aside.
6
Reduce the heat to medium. Add one jalapeño and the remaining onion to the pan and sauté for a couple of minutes.
7
Add the potatoes and season with a little garlic salt. Mix well and allow to cook for about five minutes.
8
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomatillos, stir together, and cook for another two minutes.
9
Add the seared ribs back to the pan. Pour in the prepared ranchera salsa and add a bit of water to rinse out the blender. Mix everything together and bring to a simmer.
10
Cover the pot and simmer for ten to twelve minutes until the potatoes and ribs are fully cooked through. Check the seasoning and adjust salt as needed.
11
Serve the costillas rancheras in bowls or plates. Enjoy with rice, beans, and warm flour tortillas on the side.
