Braised Short Ribs Ala Pam

No, I haven't quit blogging, I just haven't had much to write about for a few weeks.

It was time to think about supper (about five minutes after breakfast) and Bev suggested some beef short ribs that were in the freezer and needed to be used.  I thought I had saved a recipe for them and sure enough, I found one from Pam at For The Love Of Cooking.  Rather than recopy it here, please check her site for the recipe and pics.

Ingredient wise, I made it by the recipe except I had only six short ribs or so the package said but I have never seen boneless short ribs.  My guess is they were similar to pork country ribs which are boneless and cut from the shoulder or in the case of beef, from the chuck.  

I made the dish per the recipe except I did not strain or blend up the sauce – just left it chunky and pulled out the bay leaf and any thyme stems I could find.  Rather than baste them half way through the cooking process I just flipped them and at this time, I also added two quartered onions and four potatoes in large chunks.

To serve, we used a fork to mash some potatoes on our plates then topped with some sauce, the meat, and more sauce.


Not much of a presentation or shot (we were hungry) but we all thought this was one of the best meals we have ever cooked and as a bonus, it was made in one pot.  It will definitely be made here again – thanks Pam for a delicious supper.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  4. Larry, We love short ribs. They are packed with flavor and cooked like this in a Dutch oven, all of the goodness blends in with the sauce and makes for a great entree! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  5. Love short ribs here too and yours look great! You'd think living here by Chicago, that short ribs would be easy to find, but it has been eons since I've seen them here. Delicious, for sure!

  6. Perfect for the coming chilly evenings! Thanks for sharing and I hope that all is well with you after the damaging weather in TN. My daughter and her fam is OK in Knoxville too, but still causes me to worry about my friends and family in TN!

  7. I'm a big short rib fan. I've bought them that look like the ones you cooked and also in pieces that look like mini osso buco. They're delicious. I'll have to head over to see that recipe. My last short rib adventure was braised in red wine. mmmmmmmmm. Hope those fires are staying away from your area.

  8. We love boneless beef ribs. Think they come from the chuck, like you said. Our favorite recipe has beets in it. Here is a link. http://lakelurecottagekitchen.com/2012/12/27/braised-short-ribs-on-garlic-mash-with-green-beans-and-roasted-tomatoes/

  11. I love short ribs, braised, smoked or whatever. That beefy flavor, the super tender texture, and luscious feel it leaves on your lips...sigh.
