Description

We made this short rib dish for friends and it was amazing! This recipe will now be in our rotation for dinner parties. Its easy to make a few hours before serving. We had leftovers and they were just as delicious the next day. Highly recommend making this dish!

This was the first dish I made when I bought my le cruset. I used the entire bottle of Syrah wine! And it was fantastic. I did serve it over polenta, but next time will make the good old fashion type not the quick cook.

These short ribs were AMAZING!! Quite possibly one of the tastiest things I have ever made. I made them for the first time for a holiday dinner for 8 people. Everyone was raving about the tenderness and flavor. One guest even said it was better than she has had in some restaurants! Naturally, everyone asked for the recipe. I made it with a nice zinfandel and served it with dinner as well. Sides were green beans and mashed potatoes rather than polenta. The gravy was delicious on both the short ribs and potatoes. Will be making this again! Definitely worthy of a special occasion.

Made these for a wine dinner and they were delicious! I used my Staub Cast Iron Coq Au Vin Pot. The short ribs were excellent! We didnt follow the directions for the polenta because we didnt have quick cooking polenta so we opted to make regular creamy polenta. These were to die for! Dont skimp on browning the ribs on all sides. Reducing the sauce is a must. Served with olive oil and rosemary roasted whole carrots. Dont forget some nice crusty bread. Love!

This is definitely one of the best short rib recipes Ive tried, and Ive tried a bunch! So flavorful- I made it for a dinner party of 8 and every plate was practically licked clean. I didnt make the instant polenta that they recommend though- I used Emerils Parmesan Polenta recipe- it was really easy and absolutely delicious with this recipe. Everyone was raving about dinner for days! I highly recommend this!

I agree with the other reviews- this recipe is a "keeper". We have many, many dinners in our family rotation and this one is requested often. Equally delicious served over mashed potatoes, couscous, ect. Fabulous!

This was the most incredible meal we have ever made at home. It takes a little while, be sure to have everything prepped before hand. Well worth the wait! We added green beans on the side in addition to soak up the sauce, and just used a food processor with precooked polenta and milk/butter. Definitely recommend this to everyone!

I made this meal for my husband, parents and Aunt. They all loved it. The short ribs were so tender and only needed a fork to cut. I plan on making this again!
