• 2 1/2 pounds beef short ribs, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 large sweet onions, peeled and quartered
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 4 carrots, cut into bite-sized pieces

1. Season short ribs liberally on all sides with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
2. Heat coconut oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat and brown short ribs and onions in batches on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Place ribs and onion in a slow cooker. Add celery, carrots, and cinnamon stick.
3. Stir beef broth, coconut aminos, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl and pour over ingredients in the slow cooker. Cover with a lid.
