- ½ cup mayonnaise

Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 1 lb frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 25 minutes, shaking halfway.

Season the 2 lb short ribs with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp pepper. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high and sear ribs until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes total.

Pour 1 cup barbecue sauce over the ribs, turning to coat. Cover the skillet with foil and transfer to the oven (reduce to 350°F). Braise until tender, about 40 minutes.

While ribs cook, make coleslaw: in a bowl, whisk 0.5 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Add 4 cups coleslaw mix and toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving.
