Apple Braised Beef Short Ribs

When we have beef short ribs it is a real treat on our table. I have used several different recipes through the years, but the Apple Braised Beef Short Ribs recipe is definitely  our favorite. These ribs are cooked slow and easy with a mix of flavorful vegetables and a kick of apple. The spice mix for this recipe is simple yet leaves these ribs something to remember and ask for again and again. We are serving the ribs on a creamy polenta and drizzled the gravy on top. This is a wonderful meal.

Place the short ribs on a shallow baking sheet and roast them in a 400 degree oven for 6 minutes on each side.

Remove the ribs from the oven and set aside.

In a heavy dutch oven, heat the olive oil, then saute the onions, celery, carrots and garlic until the onions are starting to clear.

Place a lid on the dutch oven and bake in the oven at 325 degrees for 2 hours.

Remove the short ribs and vegetables then reduce the liquid for a thicker gravy.
