Braised Short Ribs

Beef short ribs slowly cooked in red wine, garlic, rosemary and two types of mustard are so tender and delicious.

This recipe for Braised Short Ribs is one of my FAVORITE recipes from my cookbook. Originally, when I was trying to come up with some new recipes incorporating beef to add to the collection, my friend Cindy suggested I make short ribs.

At the time, I had never made them at home, though I had eaten them out numerous times. I was a little skeptical about how my latest experiment was going to turn out but needless to say we enjoyed these short ribs so much, that I’ve since made several types since then.

How do you make Braised Short Ribs?

For this recipe, I used beef short ribs, garlic, fresh thyme and rosemary, two types of mustard and of course red wine. First, sear the meat in a Dutch oven so they’re brown on all sides.

Next, add the remaining ingredients, place the pot in the oven and let it cook slowly for 3 hours until the meat was super tender. This cooking method works perfectly every time!

These ribs are so tender, you only need a fork, and they have such an amazing, robust flavor. It takes hardly any time to prepare; however, you do need to be home to let it cook for the three hours, so it would make a wonderful Sunday afternoon dinner. ~Enjoy!
