Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 pound beef short ribs

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle stout beer

  • 1 cup beef stock


Directions

  1. Season ribs with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour until coated; shake off excess.

  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook ribs until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove ribs and set aside.

  3. Add onion and garlic to the skillet; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Return ribs to the skillet. Pour in beer while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan. Pour in beef stock.

  4. Cover and simmer over low heat until ribs are very tender, about 2 hours.

Tips

If your ribs are very fatty (which most tend to be), you can let the sauce cool and skim the fat off the top before serving.
