Braised Beef Short Ribs

This is one of my staple dishes. I truly love to prepare it and especially eat eat it. Its easy to make with not a lot of time having to be spent in the kitchen. So get up in the morning and do the small amount of prep, then do your service for the day then come home and in 30 min your done.

Beef short ribs      cut at 2 a inch thickness
Onion                   large diced
Carrot                  large diced
Celery                  large diced
Tomato juice
Red wine              A wine that you like
Beef stock
Fresh Thyme, Rosemary
Salt / pepper

Be sure to sear the short ribs really well on both sides. place all ingredients in a large roasting pan. Cover and place in oven on 200 degrees, and leave the kitchen. come back in about 3.5 - 4 hours time. Through your sweet potatoes on the boil, and take out the short ribs. Take the ribs out of the braising liquid so they have a good resting period before eating them. Put the braising liquid through a strainer and reduce until a nice consistency is reached. I like to have baby carrots and asparagus with this meal and even some parsnip. when the sweet potato is cooked, take them out of the water and lightly mash them up with a little butter.
Plate and Enjoy!
