I love these delicious Braised Short Ribs! I am telling you; this will be the best food you will ever serve today.

Short ribs are an ingredients that I do not use all that often but they are such a treat! Short ribs are a particularly tasty cut of beef that is simply magical when slowly braised until fall apart tender, especially when it’s in a tasty sauce! These braised short ribs are one of my favorite, in a French style sauce.

The sauce is pretty much what you would expect with onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms garlic, beef broth red wine, thyme and rosemary and it’s so very tasty! I like to throw a couple full heads of garlic into the pan to roast while the meat braises and when it’s done you can squeeze it out, just like roasted garlic!

This French style braised short ribs stew is great as a meal by itself or served over mashed potatoes or horseradish mashed parsnips and celery root!
