Beef Short Ribs Recipe
These savory Beef Short Ribs cooked with a medley of potatoes, carrots, onions and a blend of herbs is perfect for a Sunday dinner, or with a little bit of planning, a comforting weeknight meal.
I originally shared this recipe five years ago and thought it was due for a encore, and of course with the cooler weather upon us (finally!) that hankering for savory stews and roasts kicks in. Not only are they a big comfort food around here, but the simplicity of being able to toss basic ingredients together with minimal preparation into a pot, then 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.
Chuck roast is usually our go-to for these slow cook beef dishes but our market just happened to have some beautiful boneless short ribs that we decided to try instead. It turned out fantastic. Short Ribs have an even richer flavor than a chuck roast. Plus, short ribs pair very well with the earthiness of the root vegetables and herbs. This dish is hearty, tender flavorful. So when you’re ready to try a little fancier version of that delicious Sunday staple, 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 flavorful herbs.
The ingredients are basic and after some simple chopping and a quick browning of the beef, you can forget about this roast for a bit while you tackle Mount Washmore or vacuum underneath your sofa cushions. Enjoy!

I’m tickled that you’re here! Like you, I wear many hats, and live to tell about it. This space is a place for sharing food, home, garden, travel and lifestyle tidbits, with some fun always thrown in for good measure.
Looks wonderful! Would love to make this — BUT — wine (even when cooking with wine) — triggers migraines for me. Do you have a suggested substitution? Beef Broth maybe?
Hello, Melissa! Beef broth, red wine vinegar or even a dark fruit juice, like grape juice would work.
This looks fabulous!! Can’t wait to try it!
