  THE BEST BROTH

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  When my mom made the ribs everything was very good and i ate the sandwhich and all that good stuff. But when i tasted that broth with those stewed tomatoes thats all i wanted to eat!!!!!!!! It tasted so good and i just put the broth in a container for the next day and bought tomatoes sliced them and stewed the tomatoes in the broth, it was my take on a tomato soup. it was EXCELLENT Id encourage everyone to try it btw im 16.

  Not my favorite

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  I love short ribs, however there are some things that need to just be made the original way they were made a long time ago. The wine and balsamic vinagrette(sp) did not do it for me... I personally prefer meat seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, etc.... but i decided to think outside the box this time... I didnt like it too much it was not nasty, but the wine and vinegar was too much for the ribs too me. My husband liked it, and my daughter, I didnt though... still will not stop believing in Aaron though. He is an awesome cook..

  Big Daddy, I LOVE YOUR FOOD!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I love these ribs. I usually make them as a main course with mashed potatoes. I use the sauce as a gravy. Then, we eat the sandwiches 1-2 days later. I am showcasing these sandwiches for a birthday party this weekend. I'm making a quadruple batch and throwing the shredded meat in a crockpot on warm to serve on the buffet line. Can't wait for friends and family to try them!

  This is a Keeper!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I cooked this for dinner tonight. It was great! I couldn't find Brioche bread, so I used fresh French bread. Also, I used green Jalapenos because I couldn't find any red ones. Still delicious. It tasted just as good as it looked when Big Daddy was eating it on TV.

  Short Ribs that Rock!!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  The best short ribs I've ever eaten. This recipe is top-notch. I've cooked short ribs using this recipe twice since viewing the episode. The short ribs were so spectacular that I couldn't prepare it as a sandwich. I served it over rice with a vegetable side dish. My mother loved it. This recipe is a keeper!

  Came Out Wonderful

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  The short ribs "fell off the bone", and was very savory and delicious. The cole slaw is the best I've ever had, I didn't add the jalapenos and it was just delicious. The cole slaw gave the sandwich a wonderful texture. The recipe was easy to follow and the ingredients were easy to find. You have to give this recipe a try, it will not disappoint.

  Awesome

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I had never eaten shortribs before I cooked this dish, but now I'm an addict! They were SO very tender and juicy, we loved them!!! Way to go Aaron- u hit a homerun with this recipe, as usual :) Couldn't find grapeseed oil though so I used canola - tasted fine. I made ours with sauteed green beans and fried potatoes & onions, but will probably try with slaw and sandwich next time.

  My husband and I made this on Saturday and it was great! The cole slaw was one of the best I've ever had. I used it to top black bean tacos on Sunday. Thanks Big Daddy!

  So Amazing!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I am so happy with how easy this recipe was to put together - and I really appreciated having most all of the ingredients on hand!! My family was blown away by how great the flavors were and I know that coleslaw recipe will be asked for again and again. Keep up the great work!

  Best Short Ribs

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made this last night for my family. These were the best short ribs I've ever made. My family always liked my short ribs, but your recipe gave my family a new enjoyment when we have the family short rib dinner. Thanks for a new taste for my short ribs and keep the great recipes coming!

  Amazing beefy flavor!! & best coleslaw EVER!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This is my husbands new favorite dinner, & he's a former chef, so not easy to impress. My foreign in-laws ate with us, & they thought this was one of the best meals they've ever had in America (again, picky; they've spent lots of time in France & have had some great meals to compare). I want to thank Aaron so much because though in a way this meal is "barbecue"-like (pulled meat sandwich, coleslaw), it is totally true to the beef flavor, with no fake barbecue sauce flavor. I also really appreciate that pulled meat sandwich experience made available to those of us who don't eat pork. The coleslaw ROCKS! I usually hate coleslaw, but this version is fresh, crunchy & the perfect balance of tangy & sweet. Make it on it's own just for a picnic or something. It is so good I would recommend never using another coleslaw recipe, only this. Also it's well written & the proportions are easy to follow.Do not omit hot sauce or pinch of cayenne- you really cannot feel any spiciness, they just add that little something "extra." Do go for the coleslaw on top of the beef inside if the sandwich, seems weird, but is so yummy!! I did modify beef slightly to cook in crockpot (I don't have a good Dutch oven pan): cut beef stock to 1/4 cup, & reduced onion/wine mixture w/ further cooking to an almost syrup like state, & subbed dry thyme for fresh (crockpot issue); then cook on low 6-8 hr or high 3-4. I used Kaiser rolls (the best I could find), as my grocery store did not have challah rolls. I don't recommend serving with beef "jus": too rich/fatty. And if it takes time to shred beef, you may want to rewarm it just before putting it in the sandwich. Make this tonight! It is such a winner! Thanks Aaron for making my whole family so happy at dinner last night!! Michelle in CA

  Nice Flavor, Good if you like Short Ribs

  Rated: 3 stars out of 5

  My kids really enjoyed this, my husband and I also thought it was good. The cole slaw really makes a good sandwich better. We enjoyed this sandwich, but Big Daddy's Daspot Chicken Sandwich was much more exciting!

  TO DIE FOR!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made this for my family and friends and it was awesome. I did sub a bit more beef stock as we do not cook with wine, and added 3 bay leaves. Mmmmm.... so full of flavor! This one is a keeper.

  It's a keeper!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Wow! great taste. Easy to make. I made it for dinner today and my family loved it. Something different for dinner. I did leave out the jalapeno pepper as my son is not crazy about heat in his food. I upped the hot sauce a bit instead. I love short ribs and this recipe will be a great addition to my others. Thanks, keep them coming.

  Awesome!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I agree with everyone else. Very good. I added more beef stock in place of the wine as we don't care for wine in food. Also, had to cook longer. 90 minutes not enough to get tender. I love the slaw!!!!! Great recipe!
