These tender beef short ribs are braised in wine for a delicious comfort food dinner. The beef falls off the bones and the wine makes a delicious gravy as it cooks.
Beef short ribs can be a difficult cut of meat to work with. They have lots of fat, and can be tough after cooking.
But these short ribs were amazingly tender, and the long braising in the wine gave them a deep, rich taste.

Zinfandel, it’s more than a wine. You can drink it, eat it. That’s the best complement for a wine. Which is expressed by those delicious beef ribs. Thanks for sharing such a nice recipe.
Yeah Emily. That’s more than wine. Totally agreed on that.
