Grill-Braised Short Ribs, Collards & Smashed Potatoes

[Don Cash]

We got this recipe from Cook's Country.


Fixins.

Onions first.

Then the ribs seared on all sides.

Then both into the bath (Belgian wheat beer, brown sugar & dried thyme).

Covered and braised for 1.5 hours, indirect @ around 350ish.

After the braise. Uncovered and cooked another 1.5 hours to finish & reduce the sauce.

Off.

Plated with some homemade collards (1st time ever making these) and crashed potatoes (1st time ever making these too). Really good. the sides stole the show. I'd have preferred a big ol' ribeye...

Thanks for looking!

Wow that do look yummy. Thats sorta the way my Mama cooked short ribs but there wasnt a grill in sight. Seems like maybe she browned them up in a big skillet or stewpot. As far as the beer it would have to have been either Falstaff or Pearl then she woulda got a whuppin for wasting my Daddy's beer. It was most likely water.

I'd eat that! I believe that braising short ribs is the best way to cook them.

That looks outstanding Don. I've been wanting to try cooking collard greens and after seeing your pics it's definitely on the list.

Great looking dish Don!!! I really like collard greens, that is where I use most of my left over PP.

You have successfully turned the toughest hunks of meat into a delicacy. Great job! :P

Looks good Don. Never had much luck with collard greens. Seemed like a lot of work to make them palatable. Prefer steamed Swiss Chard myself. Short ribs look great.
