Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and mash with 1 tbsp butter and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, steam broccoli in a separate pot or microwave for 4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 3
Pat short ribs dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear ribs 2–3 minutes per side without moving until deep brown.
Step 5
Add minced garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in beef broth and scrape up brown bits.
Step 6
Simmer ribs in broth for 4 minutes, turning once. Sauce should reduce slightly and coat the meat. Serve hot with potatoes and broccoli.
