Add broth and remaining marinade liquid to the pot, bring to a boil. Add short ribs, cover pot with lid. Bake for 1 hour. Add carrots and parsnips, stirring to incorporate. Bake for an additional 1 ½ hours (for a total of 2 ½ hours). Serve in a bowl with blanched greens, brown rice, or mashed potatoes as desired. Garnish with fresh parsley.
