  3. In a large Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Short ribs brown on every side. Turn them so each face develops color.

  4. Add the rosemary, cider, and maple to the pot. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven.

  5. Bake for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Meat falls from the bone. Continue braising until the ribs are tender.

  6. While the short ribs are cooking, boil the sweet potatoes until tender.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Sweet potatoes are tender before mashing. Drain well so the puree stays thick.

  7. Mash the sweet potatoes with butter and milk.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Sweet potatoes mash into a smooth puree. Mash while warm for an even texture.

  8. Serve the short ribs with the sweet potato puree.
