Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Brown the shortrib in the olive oil in a cast-iron pan. Add the cumin seeds and chillies and toast until fragrant, then add the tomatoes, red wine vinegar, orange juice and zest, garlic, thyme and water. Season, cover and braise in the oven for 3 hours, or until tender, uncovering for the last 30 minutes.

Serve drizzled with the salsa.

Cook's note: Eating lots and lots of spicy shortrib is how you will survive winter! The zesty lime and tomato salsa brings all the flavours to life.
