◾️ 2 tbsp olive oil

◾️ 2 large onions, thinly sliced

◾️ 4 garlic cloves, minced

◾️ 2 cups beef broth

◾️ 1 cup red wine (optional but recommended 🍷)

◾️ 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

◾️ 3 tbsp flour

◾️ 2 tbsp butter

🔸 For the Mashed Potatoes:

◾️ 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled & chunked

◾️ ½ cup heavy cream

◾️ 4 tbsp butter

◾️ Salt & pepper to taste

🔹️ Directions:

✅️1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Season ribs generously with salt & pepper.

✅️2.  In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high. Sear ribs on all sides (3–4 mins/side), then set aside.

✅️3.  Add onions to the same pot, cook until golden (10 mins), then stir in garlic.

✅️4. Add flour and cook 1–2 mins. Slowly pour in broth and wine, scraping up the browned bits. Stir in Worcestershire.

✅️5.  Return short ribs to the pot, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.

✅️6. 🍽️ While ribs cook, boil potatoes until fork-tender (15–20 mins). Drain, mash with cream, butter, salt & pepper until silky smooth.

✅️7. Remove ribs, skim fat from gravy, and spoon ribs over mashed potatoes. Ladle gravy on top and garnish with herbs 🌿

✅️ 3 Tips for Ultimate Flavor:

🔹️ Brown the ribs well – it builds a rich, deep base flavor for the gravy.

🔹️ Use red wine if you can – it adds amazing depth and richness.

🔹️ Mash with warm cream & butter – cold dairy can make potatoes gluey.
