Air Fryer Beef Short Ribs

Fall-off-the-bone tender beef short ribs with a deeply caramelized BBQ bark. The secret? A two-phase cooking method — first wrapped in foil at 360°F for tender steam cooking, then unwrapped at 400°F for that irresistible smoky crust. Total time is 45 minutes but the result rivals 6-hour smoked ribs. Our community rates this 4.9 stars. Pairs perfectly with coleslaw, cornbread, and baked beans.
