Beef Short Ribs

With the cooler weather comes a hankering for savory stews and roasts. Not only are they a big comfort food around here, but the simplicity of being able to toss basic ingredients with little prep in a pot and let it do it’s thing is certainly nothing to scoff at when the schedule picks up as it normally does this time of the year.

Here’s a simple take on a roast, using boneless beef short ribs (of course, you can always use the regular bone-in version too), along with some root vegetables and herbs. The ingredients are basic and after some basic chopping and a quick browning of the beef, you can forget about it for a few while you tackle Mount Washmore.

These Beef Short Ribs cooked with potatoes, carrots, onions and a medley of herbs would be perfect for a Sunday dinner, or with a little planning, a comforting weeknight meal.

Enjoy!
