Braised Short Ribs

 

Ingredients:

Ribs:
5 lbs. (about 6) short ribs
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cups beef stock
3 bottles good-quality stout beer
1/2 cup onion, diced 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup celery, diced 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup carrot, diced 1/4-inch thick
1/2 Tbsp. salt
1/2 Tbsp. black pepper
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 (16-oz.) can tomato purée

Directions:

To prepare the ribs, heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium-high heat. Season the ribs with a pinch of salt and pepper and sear them to a deep brown.

Remove the ribs and sauté the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Add the tomato puree and 2 bottles of stout. Add the ribs back into the pot; cover and reduce heat. Simmer until tender.

Open the last stout and enjoy it while this is simmering....This is very good with  spatzle!
