Red Wine Braised Short Ribs

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

When you want a delicious Sunday dinner, look no further than Red Wine Braised Short Ribs. Don't be intimidated by this recipe, it's a set it and forget it meal with plenty of hands off time. However nobody else need to know how easy of a meal this was for you to make 😉

What are short ribs

Short ribs are a cut taken from the brisket area of the cow. Short ribs can be cut either English or Flanken style. For this recipe I'm using the english cut. Short ribs are made best when cooked low and slow. The meat will become tender and fall off the bone. It's one of the most flavorful cuts of beef, which is why it's so darn good!

How to cook short Ribs

Short ribs need to be cooked low and slow in order to get that fall of the bone tender consistency. I cook my short ribs in a large dutch oven, but they can also be made in a pressure cooker or slow cooker to achieve similar results. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then brown to lock in all the flavors.

how to use a dutch oven

My dutch oven is one of the best investments I’ve made in my cooking. I have a Le Creuset which comes with a high price tag but impressive quality that will last more than a lifetime. For cheaper options I’d also recommend looking into Staub or Lodge. Dutch ovens are versatile and easy to use. They can easily go from stovetop to oven, the cast iron and ceramic coating conduct heat well and evenly, and they are perfect for braising as the moisture stays in the dutch oven.
