Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound beef short ribs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 12 fluid ounces stout beer one can or bottle
  • 1 cup beef stock

Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • Tongs
  • Measuring Cups
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour and shake off any extra flour.
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Return the short ribs to the pot. Pour in the beer and scrape the bottom to release any browned bits. Add the beef stock.
  5. Cover and reduce heat to low. Let the ribs simmer gently for about 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

Notes

You can use red wine instead of beer for a different flavor profile. To reduce fat, let the sauce cool and skim off any fat from the surface before reheating and serving.
