Prepare the beef short ribs by bringing them to room temperature for 20-30 minutes.

Season the beef short ribs heavily with kosher salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a cast iron pan until it starts smoking.

Sear the beef short ribs fat side down until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Add chopped onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pan to sweat while searing the beef.

Add red wine vinegar to the pan and reduce until evaporated.

Pour in red wine and reduce by half.

Add diced dates to the sauce for natural sweetness and fiber.

Cover the beef short ribs with beef stock and cover the pan.

Simmer the beef short ribs for 2 hours, covered, until tender.

Boil new potatoes in salted water until super soft.

In a separate pan, heat olive oil and butter until foamy, then add panko bread crumbs to toast them.

Chop parsley and add it to the toasted panko, mixing well.
