short ribs, anyone???

for a while we have been eating some really good short ribs at restaurants. so we decided to make some at home...

here is the recipe we used. we looked on line at several different

ones and this seemed the best and some what easy.


the recipe required making a brine (salt, brown sugar and bay leaf)

2 cups of each. omg!!! that seemed way too salty but we vowed to

make it exactly like the recipe. put the short ribs in for 3 hours, we

sort of got behind and left it in for almost 4 hours....

had to brown each piece, we had 6.



celery, carrot and onion, oh my...




stack of browned short ribs

cooking the veggies, looks pretty good


added wine, chicken stock, short ribs and vegetables. after an hour of cooking.

over all the short ribs were good. forgot to take a picture of the dinner but here are the leftovers. i guess we will try them again but maybe a different recipe...

my poor pot...




it survived our experiment and lives to make another good pot of something.
(believe it or not it was easy to clean per Jeff)
