Short ribs. We all love them when we are in restaurants but most of us are too intimidated to make them at home. We just aren’t quite sure what to do with them. The truth is short ribs are easy to cook and these Savory Short Ribs with Vegetables and Artichoke Hearts can be made in under an hour!

What is Braising?

Braising simply means you sear the meat in a pan before cooking then stew slowly in a covered container. Braising is easy, pinky swear. I cook my short ribs with new potatoes, shallots and carrots in broth and red wine. Then I add crispy seared artichoke hearts and drizzle with a balsamic glaze. (affiliate link)

Of course I always recommend using grass fed beef.

“WHY GRASS FED?”

I know beef companies proudly tout “corn fed” like it’s a good thing, but it’s not. Corn is not a cow’s natural food, grass is. Corn and other grains make cows sick and when they get sick they are pumped with antibiotics, which are passed right along to you. In fact, conventional grain-fed beef is twice as likely to contain dangerous bacteria resistant to antibiotics than grass fed beef. No bueno.

Grass fed cows make superior meat too. Yep, it tastes better and is better for you. The meat from grass fed cows is higher in the healthy omega 3 fats and lower in the inflammation causing omega 6 fats. And it’s nice to know these cows live a better life than those that live in overcrowded feedlots.

ButcherBox delivers grass fed beef right to your doorstep!

Cook This Recipe One of Three Ways!

I am going to offer you three ways to make this dish. You can make this meal in about 40 minutes start to finish if you have an Instant Pot. That is what I used for the recipe you see here. I love it. The Instant Pot takes the place of a pressure cooker, crock pot, rice cooker and steamer! If you don’t have an Instant Pot you can slow cook them in a crock pot or use a Dutch oven. I always like to offer you choices!
