Step 1

Preheat the oven to 150 °C/ 300 °F (fan assisted), or 170 °C/ 340 °F (conventional). Season the ribs with a good pinch of salt and pepper. (Total weight of 6 short ribs with bones will be about 1.8 kg.)

Step 2

Heat pot over high heat (or use the Saute setting on the Instant Pot). Add in ghee and heat up. Once hot, sear the short ribs in for about 1 minute per side. Remove from pot and set aside.

Step 3

Transfer the seared ribs to a baking tray. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano and chili powder. Sprinkle the seared ribs.

Step 4

Turn the ribs on the other side to sprinkle all over with all of the spice mix.

Step 5

Pour coconut aminos and bone broth into the tray. Cover with aluminium foil. Transfer into the preheated oven and bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, until the meat is tender.

Step 6

Make the cauliflower mash. Cut the cauliflower into florets. Place cauliflower in a steamer basket over a pot filled with 1-2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes. Do not overcook. Remove the lid and let the steam escape.

Step 7

Meanwhile, prepare the cauliflower mash. Transfer the cauliflower into a blender and add the butter (or use ghee or olive oil), and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Process until smooth. Set aside.

Step 8

Remove the ribs from the oven and set aside to cool down for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the cauliflower mash with the braised short ribs and pour some of the meat juices over. Sprinkle with sliced spring onions.

Step 10

To store, refrigerate for up to 4 days. The meat can be frozen for up to 2 months but the mash is best prepared fresh.
