Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 pounds short ribs, cut into individual ribs
2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1 cup peeled, seeded and chopped fresh or canned tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 quarts beef broth
1/4 cup chopped scallion (green part only), for sprinkling

Directions

Heat oil in a dutch oven or large, heavy covered pot over high heat. Season ribs with Creole seasoning, patting it in well with your hands. When pot is nearly smoking add ribs without crowding them and sear on all sides until they form a brown crust. Do this in batches, if necessary. When all ribs have browned, add onions, celery and carrot; saute 1 minute to brown lightly. Stir in tomatoes, garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, pepper and enough broth to just cover ribs. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to gently simmering, cover and simmer until very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

To serve, mound ribs in center of 4 plates, spoon sauce over and garnish with chopped scallion.

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these short ribs tonight and they were excellent! Easy to make and came out perfectly. I served them over mashed... potatoes. I didn't have the creole seasoning, so I just seasoned the meat with salt and pepper and that worked perfectly. I didn't need as much beef stock as the recipe called for -- I only ended up using 4 quarts, and I think next time, I may use a little less or reduce a bit more for a thicker gravy. Read more

First timer success!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Even better as leftovers. I used boneless ribs and the results were absolutely delicious.A couple of slight modifications, I... did not use all the broth specified in the ingredients, 2 cans of beef broth was more than enough. I also thickened the sauce at the end by adding a little corn starch.Read more

best short ribs made!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the third short rib recipe, I have made. This is by far the best recipe. I have made a Sandra Lee short rib recipe... which is made in the slow-cooker and a Rachel Ray recipe made in the slow-cooker. NONE of these two recipes compare to this. This recipe is tasty and easy to make. My 5 year old daughter loved it. I made creamy corn polenta with it and it was very good! We made a gravy with the left over juice from the ribs with flour. The sauce was excellent. Try this recipe, you will love it!Read more

Rockin' Ribs!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These turned out really good--flavorful and falling off the bone tender. The gravy was delicious with a great richness of... flavor, albeit a tad too thin and too much of it. Next time I'll use less beef broth and/or use a thickening agent, i.e. tomato paste (1-2 oz.), cornstarch, etc.).Read more

Comfort food at it's best!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was absolutely yummy! I was shopping for a new recipe for braised ribs, because the ones I've tried lacked flavor... in them. I fell upon this one, and by far, this is the best recipe I've tried! The ribs just fall apart perfectly, the sauce was just amazingly tasty, and the carrots were so soft and tender! The only thing I did change, was I used salt and pepper to season the ribs instead of Creole seasoning, because I had none! But it still turned out fantastic! I do have a warning though, it can get spicy. But otherwise, it was just perfect!Read more
