4
ingredients
- 8 meaty beef short ribs
- salt & pepper
- 1 cup merlot (I use wine from BC vineyards)
- 2 1⁄2 cups beef stock
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 4 -5 sprigs fresh thyme
directions
- Preheat oven to 450 F.
- Season the short ribs with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan that's just large enough to hold them in a single layer.
- Roast for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the wine, stock, flour, sugar and mustard in a medium-sized pot and whisk until well combined. Mix in the onion, garlic and thyme.
- Bring to a boil, boil 2 minutes and then remove from the heat.
- Once the short ribs have roasted for 30 minutes, remove from the oven and drain away the excess fat.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
- Pour the wine/stock mixture over the ribs.
- Cover and bake for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone.
- Skim any fat from the surface of the ribs before serving.

I, along with 2 others, loved this. The ribs were tender, and very tasty. My DH, however, did not care for it, simply because of the onions. Yes, I, the unsympathetic wife who knows he hates onion, did not omit them. This was easy to prepare and the house smelled divine while they were in the oven. I'll make again, just using onion powder instead of onion slices. Thanks for posting!

Over the past 3 years, I have really begun to enjoy cooking - I still blame BF - he is a great cook and I needed to get my act together!!
I enjoy all of the recipes and reviews with great ideas on this site. It makes it so much easier to try new things and increase my confidence and skill level.
Baking is my favourite thing right now - love making cookies, muffins and desserts. Also enjoy one dish meals - so much less stress than trying to time everything just right (not to mention less cleanup:) )
Beyond Recipezaar I love the Company's Coming cookbooks - especially the Timeless Classics one. Cooking just like Mom's.
