Italian Style Braised Short Ribs

These flavorful short ribs are a mostly hands off one pot wonder which makes them perfect for entertaining. Just add pasta or mashed potatoes and a salad for a complete meal.

Short ribs are often a favorite of mine to order when I’m out for dinner, they’re always so tender and flavorful and usually have an equally delicious sauce. But I’d never made them at home before.  

Now that has all changed. I was recently at one of my favorite grocery stores and I saw the most gorgeous package of short ribs and I knew it was time to make these myself.

I have to tell you, no one in my house was disappointed. The short ribs couldn’t have been easier to make and they tasted absolutely amazing!  

They were perfectly browned, tender and almost falling off the bone. The tomato and red wine sauce that I braised them in gave the dish a deep and rich flavor.  

I served the short ribs with fresh spaghetti, which tasted awesome tossed in that rich sauce. These would also go perfectly with some fluffy mashed potatoes.

Braised short ribs will definitely be on my dinner rotation now and I hope you give them a try, as well! If you love these, you’ll also want to try these Cabernet Braised Short Ribs. They’re just as easy to make and turn out fall apart tender every time.
