Deelish. After browning short ribs in on the stovetop, transfered short ribs and ingredients to my Staub enamaled cast iron covered baker. Baked on 300 degrees for 4 hours. Fell off the bone. The pan drippings make a wonderful gravy. Didn't even need the horseradish sauce to enjoy this dish. -
Absolutely delicious. This gravy has a lot of depth to it. I could drink the gravy as a soup. To reduce the fat quite a bit I trimmed excess fat from the ribs, removed the ribs from the broth after cooking and chilled until the next day and I strained the broth and chilled it until the next day. I was able to remove a very large slab of beef fat from the top of the broth. I then thickened the broth slightly and added the ribs and baked at 350 for 30 minutes in a dutch oven. Decadent! -
These short ribs were wonderful! The house smelled amazing while they were cooking. My ribs didn't take quite as long; so it was good to keep an eye on them. I used chicken broth, which was great, though I'll have to try it with beef broth next time around. I used a cornstarch/water slurry at the end instead of the flour to thicken up the sauce. I didn't make the horseradish sauce either; there was already plenty of the wonderful sauce from the meat. Thanks for a great recipe! -
WoW!!!! WoW!!! WoW!!!! GREAT recipe! I used beef ribs and I have always been bad at making ribs...NOT ANY MORE!!!! Thank you a ton for this recipe. It will become a staple in my house....look out animals...I'm coming for your ribs! -
This is amazing!!! The horseradish sauce was so good with the ribs. I don't have a dutch oven. So I just used a large pot to cook the ribs on the stove. For the gravy, I added some red wine and mushroom and simmered it for 30 minutes. Absolutely delicious! Will make again.
