These Pomegranate Cabernet Braised Short Ribs were To. Die. For. This recipe with pomegranate juice, rich, full bodied Cabernet wine, pomegranate and mushrooms was perfect for our Sunday supper, but would also make a nice holiday treat.

The meat is so tender it literally falls off of the bone and the flavors were heavenly.

Beef short ribs become extremely tender when braised and I like to use the English Cut; which is when the ribs are separated from one another along the bone and the meat sits on the top.

They come in either a long slab or cut in half into 2" pieces; which is what I prefer using as I feel it's easier for portion control.

I've made two other variations of short ribs including Braised Short Ribs made with two types of mustard, fresh rosemary and red wine and Beer Braised Short Ribs.

How do you make Pomegranate Cabernet Braised Short Ribs?

For this recipe you'll need beef short ribs, EVOO, mushrooms, garlic, fresh rosemary, pomegranate juice, cabernet wine, and pomegranate seeds.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Season the ribs with salt and pepper; then add them to the pot.

Allow to brown on all sides for approximately 10-15 minutes. Remove the ribs from the pan and set aside. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your pot.

Add the mushrooms to the pot and saute 3-4 minutes; then add the garlic and rosemary and saute for another minute.Add the pomegranate juice and wine to the pot and mix well; then place the ribs back into the pot, submerging as much of them into the liquid as you can.

Turn off the heat, cover the pot and place the entire Dutch oven into the oven. Bake for 3 hours, stirring once every hour to submerge other pieces of the meat.

Carefully remove the pot from the oven; then remove the ribs by placing them on a serving platter. Cover to keep warm and set aside.

Place the pot on the burner over high heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes; then stir in pomegranate seeds. Pour the liquid over the short ribs and serve.

Both were phenomenal and it had to do mostly with the cooking method. Low and slow = perfect every time! You do have to be patient though and plan to prepare this meal when you have a little extra time.

I made mine on a Sunday afternoon and the smell in the kitchen that day was amazing. ~Enjoy!

    Carrie,
    Beef and pomegranate is a new combination for me, and I bet it just rocks. I'll have to poke around the freezer to see if we got more ribs in our quarter beef. I know we fixed one meal of ribs already--but I'd like to try this, it looks delicious.
    Thank you.
