Ingredients Needed
Beef short ribs: As the main character, it provides rich protein and a mellow meaty aroma. After grilling, it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and is the core of deliciousness.
Slices of ginger and garlic: Remove fishy smell and enhance fragrance. They give the beef short ribs a rich pungent aroma, resolve greasiness and make the flavor more layered.
Salt and pepper seasoning powder: The key to enhancing the taste. The salty and fragrant flavor is prominent and stimulates the meaty flavor, making it more intense.
Cumin powder: Adds a unique exotic flavor. The aroma is alluring and complements beef perfectly.
Olive oil: Helps to heat evenly and lock in moisture. After grilling, the beef short ribs will not be dry and tough and remain tender.
Sesame seeds and crushed basil leaves: Decorate and enhance freshness. Sesame seeds increase fragrance. Basil leaves give a fresh breath and enhance the overall appearance and taste.
How to choose beef short ribs?
Appearance and color: Choose those with a ruddy and even color. This indicates that the beef short ribs are fresh. After grilling, they will have a good appearance and flavor. Avoid the dull or mottled parts.
Meat texture: The ones with clear, fine and evenly distributed texture are the best. In this way, the meat is firm and not easy to become loose after being baked at high temperature in an air fryer, and it is very chewy.
Fat distribution: It is most ideal to have an appropriate amount of white fat interspersed among the red meat. When grilled, the fat melts, which can not only enhance the aroma and make the taste rich, but also not be greasy, and the taste can be balanced.
Elastic touch: Gently press the beef short ribs with your fingers. If it can rebound quickly, it is fresh. If the dent recovers slowly or even does not recover, it is not fresh and not suitable for purchase.
Essential Tools
Air fryer: The core tool for cooking beef short ribs. It allows beef short ribs to achieve a crispy texture similar to deep frying without a large amount of oil. At the same time, it reduces oil intake, which is healthy and delicious.
Basin: Used for marinating beef short ribs to ensure that the seasonings can evenly cover each piece of meat. At the same time, it is convenient for mixing and turning during the marinating process.
Gloves: Avoid getting seasonings on your hands and facilitate evenly spreading the seasonings on the surface of beef short ribs. Ordinary disposable gloves or kitchen-specific gloves are all applicable.
Tongs: Used for turning over beef short ribs during the cooking process to ensure that each side can be heated evenly.
Kitchen paper towel: Used to absorb the moisture on the surface of beef short ribs, help the seasonings adhere better, and prevent oil splashing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Failure to absorb moisture: If the moisture on the beef short ribs is not fully absorbed, a large amount of moisture will be lost during grilling, making the beef short ribs dry and tough and affecting the taste.
Insufficient marinating time: If the marinating time is too short, the seasonings cannot fully penetrate into the meat, and the grilled beef short ribs will have a bland taste.
Failure to preheat: If the air fryer is not preheated in advance, the beef short ribs will be unevenly heated initially, and it is easy to have local charring and some parts not fully cooked.
Frequent opening of the box: Frequent opening of the air fryer to check during the grilling process leads to heat loss, prolongs the grilling time, and makes the taste of beef short ribs worse.
Improper seasoning: Excessive addition of seasonings covers up the meaty aroma of beef short ribs themselves, and the taste is too heavy.

Storage and Reheating Tips
Storage methods:
If the "air fryer beef ribs" are not finished, the remaining beef short ribs should be put into a fresh-keeping bag or sealed container as soon as possible. After exhausting the air, seal it and put it in the refrigerator's refrigeration compartment, where it can be stored for 1 - 2 days;
If you want to extend the storage time, put it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, where it can be stored for 1 - 3 months, but the taste after freezing will slightly decline.
Reheating skills:
For beef short ribs taken out from the refrigeration compartment, it is recommended to heat them with an air fryer.
First preheat the air fryer to 160°C, put the beef short ribs in the frying basket, and heat for 7 - 9 minutes. The circulating hot air can quickly and evenly restore the heat and crispness of the beef short ribs;
If using a microwave oven, heat on high for 1 - 2 minutes, but it is easy to cause local overheating and moisture loss, and the taste is not good;
For beef short ribs taken out from the freezer compartment, they should be thawed in the refrigeration compartment first, and then heated according to the above settings with an air fryer.
Recipe Variations
Adjust the sauce: You can mix sweet bean paste with honey to create a sweet and salty flavor combination. Or use curry powder and coconut milk to make curry sauce to add an exotic flavor. You can also sprinkle spices such as rosemary and thyme to give it a herbal fragrance.
Pair with vegetables: Put beef short ribs and broccoli and carrot chunks on a baking tray and put them in an air fryer. The vegetables absorb the meat juice, which is delicious and nutritious. You can also pair with grilled pineapples and apples for a sweet and refreshing taste that relieves greasiness.
First braise and then grill: Braise the beef short ribs with a braising spice bag for half an hour, and then grill according to the regular air fryer steps, with both braising fragrance and grilling fragrance.
Double-layer grilling: Put potato slices on the lower layer and beef short ribs on the upper layer. The potatoes absorb oil and become crispy, and the beef short ribs are added with potato fragrance.
Meal Pairing Recommendations
Staple food: Pair with rice, pasta or mashed potatoes to add a sense of fullness to the whole meal and balance the taste of meat.
Vegetables: Choose grilled vegetables, cold mixed vegetables or stewed vegetables. They can bring a fresh taste and reduce greasiness.
Soup: Borscht or beef thick soup are both good choices that complement grilled beef short ribs and add a warm atmosphere to the dining table.
Beverage: Red wine or beer. The former is mellow and combines with the meaty aroma, and the latter is refreshing and balances greasiness. Choose according to personal preference.
