Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the sliced beef short ribs dry with paper towels.
  2. Place the short ribs in a heavy 6-quart pot.
  3. Add 8 cups of water, coarsely chopped onions, cored and seeded green bell peppers, coarsely chopped celery, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the pot.
  4. Heat over medium-high heat until the liquid reaches a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  6. Cover and simmer until the short ribs are tender, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  7. Remove the short ribs from the pot and set them aside in a warm bowl.
  8. In a small bowl, mix 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour with a small amount of cold water to create a smooth slurry.
  9. Stir the flour slurry into the simmering liquid in the pot to thicken the gravy.
  10. Return the short ribs to the gravy and simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the gravy is thick and glossy.

Note

Ensure the short ribs are sliced across the bone into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.

Do not skip patting the meat dry; this helps with browning if you choose to sear them first, though this recipe braises directly.

If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more water or beef broth. If too thin, simmer uncovered longer or add more flour slurry.

Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or cornbread to soak up the delicious gravy.

Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if needed.
