Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper; sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté chopped onion and jalapeños for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add garlic and crumbled chicken sausage; cook for another 5 minutes until sausage is mostly cooked through.
Stir in chili powder, Mexican oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook for an additional minute to enhance flavors.
Pour in beef stock while scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Return short ribs to pot along with fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce; stir well.
