DARK BEER BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS (CROCK POT)



Dark Beer Braised Beef Short Ribs (Crock Pot) image

Adapted from a recipe by Fabio Viviani. Reducing the quart of beef stock to 1 1/2 cups is not included in prep time and a must for a good depth of flavor. A good stout beer is also a must for this recipe, I use Guinness extra stout. Boneless or bone on ribs can be used for this recipe. I have stated 8 hours for cooking time but that will depend on your crock pot, with mine the bone on ribs were almost done at the 6 hour mark so I turned the warm cycle on and let simmer for 2 more hours, they were perfect.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of short ribs: Bone-in short ribs are the best choice for braising, as they have a lot of flavor and connective tissue that will break down during cooking.
  • Brown the short ribs before braising: This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a good quality braising liquid: Beef broth, red wine, or a combination of the two are all good choices.
  • Add vegetables to the braising liquid: This will help to add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
  • Cook the short ribs on low heat for a long time: This will allow the connective tissue to break down and the meat to become tender.
  • Skim the fat from the braising liquid before serving: This will help to make the dish more flavorful.
  • Serve the short ribs with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles: These are all great sides for braised short ribs.

Conclusion:

Braised short ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a little preparation, you can have a tender, flavorful dish that your family and friends will love.
