Make this easy recipe for braised short ribs and you'll have people thinking that you're like a professionally trained chef. That's because these short ribs become unbelievably succulent and tender as they slowly cook in the flavorful braising liquid. And here's our secret weapon: A heavy pour of red wine vinegar adds an addictive tanginess to the sauce. It cuts the richness of the ribs and makes you want to go back for another bite. Best of all: short ribs are an inexpensive cut of beef that taste expensive when you add some time. Luckily, most of that time is hands-off cooking so you don't have to baby sit it.

Mealthy Tip

We whiz the braising liquid with the vegetables with the immersion blender to get a thick sauce for the short ribs. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, feel free to skip the blending step. Either way, these short ribs are delicious served with egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

If you don't have an immersion blender, pour the braising liquid into a blender and blend on low speed until desired consistency is reached.

Steve Failows says:

who doesn't like short ribs?! delicious fall off the bone ribs that anyone would like - next time I make this I'll probably double up on the red pepper flakes or throw in a habanero or two for an extra kick.

Queen Foodie says:

I normally braise my short ribs in water or beef stock but I was willing to give this recipe a try and I am so glad I did. It is absolutely delicious. I chose a wine with hints of black pepper, cherries BlackBerries and raspberries to braise in. Unbelievably delicious 😋

Marlea Kent says:

Leah M says:

This is a great, fail-proof recipe that was easy to follow. I actually did the braised short ribs and used the meat in a french onion soup. Very delicious, thank you!

McKenzie C says:

This braised short ribs recipe is solid! We swapped out beef stock for veal stock instead and also added a bell pepper to the cooking liquid. Will definitely make this again!
