SIMPLE BEEF SHORT RIBS



Simple Beef Short Ribs image

The basics of this recipe came from my mom, and it was passed down to her from her mother and Oma. I changed it a little, and you can too. You can braise in basically any liquid you want. The short ribs come out so delicious and tender, and there is not an overwhelming sauce to overpower them.

REALLY GREAT BEEF SHORT RIBS



Really Great Beef Short Ribs image

Rub the ribs with dry seasonings to coat well and leave in the fridge for at least a minimum of 8 hours, 24 hours is even better --- If you want to save time, you can just omit browning the ribs, and add in the onions and garlic right into the sauce, I prefer to brown first --- this is very good!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef short ribs. Bone-in short ribs are the most flavorful, but they take longer to cook. If you're short on time, you can use boneless short ribs, but they will be less flavorful.
  • Brown the short ribs before braising them. This will help to develop their flavor and give them a nice color.
  • Use a good quality braising liquid. Beef broth, red wine, or even beer can all be used to braise short ribs. The liquid should be flavorful and have enough body to stand up to the long cooking time.
  • Cook the short ribs low and slow. The best way to cook short ribs is to braise them in a covered pot over low heat for at least 2 hours. This will allow the meat to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Serve the short ribs with a flavorful sauce. A simple pan sauce made from the braising liquid is a great way to finish off the short ribs. You can also serve them with a barbecue sauce or a horseradish sauce.

Conclusion:

Beef short ribs are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you braise them, roast them, or grill them, short ribs are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give beef short ribs a try. You won't be disappointed.
