Braised Beef Short Ribs: tender, succulent, fall apart beef that tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant (without the restaurant price)! It’s a one-pot, low and slow beef that looks fancy but is actually really simple. The mashed potatoes soaking up that rich sauce is heaven. Other great side items could be rice, egg noodles, cauliflower mash, or polenta. If you’ve never made beef short ribs, don’t be intimated. Following these steps will yield amazing results and sure to impress your family and friends!
