Shredded Beef Short Ribs

I’m a firm believer that short ribs are right up there with the most delicious foods ever and I don’t cook them nearly enough. You just can’t beat the flavor of short ribs. They are pure comfort food and I love them served on mashed potatoes with peas or green beans for a down home meal.

Boneless Beef Short Ribs

You’ll need 4 pounds of boneless beef short ribs for this recipe. If you can’t locate them in the meat case of the grocery store, just make friends with the butcher. He can hook you up.

Slow Cook In Dutch Oven

Shredded Beef Short Ribs are slow cooked in a Dutch oven with onion, garlic, ketchup, condensed tomato soup, cider vinegar for a little tang, and crushed red pepper flakes for just a little heat. These ribs are absolutely packed with flavor!

Recommended Equipment

You will need a good quality Dutch oven with a heavy bottom for this recipe. I love the Lodge Cast Iron Enamel Dutch Oven. It is a beautiful color and cooks roasts, stews and soups to perfection.
