1 Video | Photo: Michael's Coffee Braised Short Ribs Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 pounds short ribs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 teaspoons hot or mild chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions
Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, to taste. Warm the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the ribs and brown until golden, turning them once, about 8 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour the wine and coffee into the skillet. Cook over high heat, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom, until the sauce is reduced by one forth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Put the ribs, onion, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, the chili powder and oregano in a slow cooker. Pour in the wine sauce and cook, covered, on high for 3 1/2 hours. Uncover and cook until the ribs are falling apart, about 45 minutes more. Transfer the ribs and sauce to a serving dish and serve.

I've made this recipe probably a dozen times over the last few years. Sometimes I think about trying a new short rib recipe, but then I decide why bother since I love this one so much. Plus I hardly ever make short ribs, so when I do it's cause I love this recipe. It's so easy and has such a short list of ingredients. I scanned over the reviews and was very surprised that some people complained of a it having lack of flavor, it's bland, or bitter. They must of done something wrong because I have never had any of those outcomes. I do however defat the gravy, but other than that this recipe is great as is!

I like this recipe! It was easy to make, though I did not have a Dutch oven I used a deep pan and just lowered the temp and let it cook for the recommended amount of time. Got the same results. Talk about improvising! Love you!

This looked like fun and decided to make it, unfortunately AFTER going into town and bringing home the ingredients for a DIFFERENT recipe. With no white wine around, I used a cup of Merlot plus the coffee instead. Cooked on the stove top in a large cast-iron/enamel Dutch oven for almost 2 hours, and the results were absolutely fabulous. Threw the cooking liquid and drippings into the blender, and added to a roux to make incredible gravy.
I think that starting out with a great cup of coffee really helped things, as there was none of the bitterness other reviewers have mentioned. I used one of my favorite Sumatran coffees in a fairly dark roast and it seemed nearly perfect. It's a good thing I only got enough ribs for one serving apiece, as we didn't stop until every morsel and drop of gravy was gone.
