    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.

    I made this dish today, smells great, taste is bitter. Helpful hint to Food Network: not all of knows what kind of wine to use or the differences between a Chardonnay or other types of wine. Please suggest the chefs be more specific and instead of saying "one cup of white wine" be more specifice (ie. "one cup of Chardonnay" or Merlot or whatever they are using. So, since it tasted bitter & bland,& salty, I added one tablespoon of tomato paste, one tablespoon Worcestershire & one tablespoon of brown sugar. Sad to say, I'm still disappointed. Won't make this particular recipe of Paula's but I'm a huge fan.

    Terrible, what else can I say. Remove this from the web site, what a waste of short ribs.

    This recipe was fabulous! We did not have white wine in the house (rare instance, so we used beer instead. The ribs fell off the bone. We put the short ribs over whole wheat egg noodles. Great recipe and very simple.

    Loved it! Fantastic recipe, very easy and succulent meat. The coffee and white wine mixture made a fantastic sauce and the onions were extremely tasty.

    Loved this & it was so easy! You would never think coffee & wine would turn out this way but it was perfect. I used my crock pot...it reminded me of the pork ribs and turnips that my granny used to make when I was little. I think I will try putting some turnips & potatoes in at the end sometime. (oh and I used country style pork ribs....

    It was good and it was easy. I agree that the gravy needs to be defatted. I probably won't make again, tho. I have a recipe we like much better (Huber Keller's.
