A quick and reliable way to turn most any random cut of beef ribs into something delicious.

Ingredients Directions

  • Cooking fat
  • Short ribs
  • Onion, diced or cut from pole to pole

  2. Add the onion and cook until translucent.
  3. Add the garlic and tomato or chipoltle paste, cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  4. Deglaze the pot with the red wine.
  5. Add the beef stock, Worchestershire sauce, thyme, pepper, and salt (to taste).
  6. Return the ribs to the pot and cook on the high setting for 50 minutes with an additional 20 minute natural release.
