How to cook short ribs in air fryer step by step guide

Recipe notes and tips
- You can preheat your air fryer on 200c for 3 to 5 minutes. If you do this your cooking time might be shorter than the recommended cooking time
- You do not have to spray the basket as the short ribs have their fat and they did not stick when I was testing this recipe
- Air fryer models differ, my tiny air fryer cooks faster than big spacious air fryer because the is less room for the air to circulate. If you have a bigger air fryer then the cook time may stretch further than 15 minutes
- If you want to be busy with something else while the air fryer is cooking, you might want to set the cooking time into two batches. The first half for the one side then the last half for the other side.
