Braised Short Ribs

This recipe for braised beef short ribs is the ultimate comfort food, delivering melt-in-the-mouth texture and a deep, savoury depth of flavour. By slowly simmering the beef in a rich base of dry red wine, tomatoes, and mushrooms, the meat becomes exceptionally tender while the cooking liquid transforms into a glossy, fragrant sauce. It is a wonderful high-protein dish that requires very little preparation, allowing the slow cooker to do all the hard work while the kitchen fills with a delicious aroma.

Perfect for a weekend lunch or a restorative midweek dinner, these ribs are best served in large bowls with plenty of crusty bread to mop up the juices. The addition of fresh garlic and bay leaves adds a classic herb note that balances the richness of the beef. This simple, one-pot method ensures a nutritious and hearty meal that feels much more indulgent than its straightforward preparation suggests.
