Ingredients
  • 4 pound Beef short ribs; sliced

    Pat the sliced beef short ribs dry with paper towels.

    Place the short ribs in a heavy 6-quart pot.

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.
