Slow cooked, rich, sumptuous and packed with flavor. Braised short ribs are well worth the time and effort to make them. If you’ve had a dish like this before, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, shame on you! Rush down to the store right this minute with a printed copy of this recipe and get cooking!
You’ll be glad you did, I assure you.
Go ahead, I’ll wait…
…
Are you back with the ingredients? Good, I’ll continue.
Meals like this can be cooked on the stove, but I prefer the oven method, mostly because I don’t have to worry about charring the bottom of the dish. The oven gives more control over the process, but this is also a great slow cooker dish. Just sear your ribs first, then deglaze that pan with onions and wine, add everything to the slow cooker and set it to low, forget it for 8 hours and viola! Perfect braised numminess each and every time.
Any way you cook these, just do.
You won’t regret it. This might not be the best picture I ever took of a finished dish, but the ribs themselves are completely out of this world.

I think that this is too rich to be served on its own, and I prefer it served family style over rice in a large serving bowl in the center of the table. If you like an extremely rich stew on its own, feel free. Sprinkle with parsley if desired and enjoy!
What I would have done differently had I thought of it at the time:
I think I would have skipped the celery and gone with pearl onions, which is the classic method. Otherwise I absolutely loved this dish, and so did Mrs. seat of her Pants. It’s hot,hearty and warming. The perfect thing for a cool Autumn night.
