This dish is an impressive Sunday night or date dinner, yet so simple to make! Plus beef short ribs are rich and hearty – the ultimate wintery comfort food.
The restaurant version most definitely uses onions and/or garlic, but this version isn’t lacking for flavor without it.
There’s also so many options for sides – feel free to serve it with mashed potatoes, polenta, or pasta.
🍳Recommended Equipment
- Instant Pot or pressure cooker (if you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can simmer in a dutch oven/stock pot for 3-4 hours instead)
- Another smaller pot for polenta
