BEST DAMN SHORT RIBS

Before I had beef short ribs, I didn’t understand all the hoopla surrounding them. Well, they really are that good. Simmered until tender with red wine, hello, what’s not to love!?

Short ribs are a popular cut of beef. Beef short ribs are larger and usually more tender and meatier than their pork counterpart, pork spare ribs

This recipe takes a long time (three hours is an eternity for someone with no patience!) to make but it’s not difficult. You don’t stand over the stove for 3 hours straight. You do a step, then read your trashy novel (or maybe that’s just me), do a step, then clean the kitchen, do a step, back to the novel.

It is SO worth the time…..

BRAISED SHORT RIB STORY

Ryder said, “Yum! This is good and I know good. I may not know when other things are good or bad, but I know when food is good or bad!” Yep, he’s right.

Wesley said, “These are the best damn short ribs.” Holy moly, my friends, that is like winning the Boston Marathon! Food critic #1 gave it a 10!!! The heavens parted and the angels sang Hal-le-lu-jahhhhhhh!!

First, dry ribs with a paper towel then salt and pepper. Brown on all sides in a Dutch oven.

After ribs are browned, remove to a pan. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Next, add red wine and boil until reduced to about 1 cup.

Return the ribs back to the pan and add 4 cups of beef broth. Place the lid on the dish and bake in a 325-degree oven for 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours. Take out of the oven and remove ribs to a plate. Skim excess fat off the top, then boil until reduced by about half. The longer you boil and reduce the more intense the remaining broth will be. Replace ribs and simmer a couple of minutes longer. Serve over rice, with cheesy grits, or with buttered noodles.
