Short Ribs Are The Way to Go!

Are You Feeling Fancy?!

So last week my wife said she wanted to have something ‘fancy’ for dinner. After a little fun banter about what she was implying about our normal dinners, I felt stuck on what that would look like this time!

Not one to disappoint I set about looking for something….fancy….we could have for dinner. Beef short ribs are something we admittedly don’t eat often but when we do, they always feel like a special meal and a little, well fancier than normal! So, with that in mind and knowing we had some in the freezer I set out for a recipe!

My sister has recently turned me on to the Half Baked Harvest blog which comes up some pretty awesome recipes (we haven’t tried one we didn’t like yet!) so I started there.

After looking around a bit, we settled on the Cider Braised Short Ribs with Caramelized Onions. - Half Baked Harvest. It was an easy recipe to follow and make and man was it delicious!! We paired it with some creamy mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus, and well I think I did it….we achieved feelin’ fancy!

There’s a ton of other recipes out there for short ribs. We’ve tried some different recipes over the years, and many are braised and in a wine sauce, which is a really good way to go also. The biggest key with short ribs is getting a good braise on them and then letting them cook low and slow for long enough!

If you’re feeling fancy and would like to try your hand at some short ribs we have a few left in stock, check them out on our website here.
