What cut of meat is braised short rib?

Short ribs come from the beef chuck of the cow near the breastbone.

Can you braise short ribs too long?

If you are wondering if you can overcook the short ribs, then the answer is NO! The longer you braise the beef short ribs, the more tender and delicious they become. My tip would be to ensure that you have liquid and that the beef ribs aren't just drying up. Typically cook mine in the oven between 2 – 3 hours. This time would vary with temperature.

Do you have to braise short ribs?

You necessarily do not have to braise the short ribs; however, braising is the best way to cook them. It cooks for a long time, releases tons of flavors, and becomes very tender and juicy. Most often, braised beef short ribs are usually fall-off-the-bone tender and tasty!

How do you tell when braised short ribs are done?

You will instantly know that the meat is ready when they are fork-tender and almost falling off the bone. About 2½ hours or so, I cooked these beef short ribs for exactly 2½ hours. If your meat feels hard, add more stock and cook it at low temperature for more time.

Must I use Red Wine to Make Braised Short Ribs?

Add more broth or stock if ribs become dry or all the sauce dry. And feel free to reduce the temperature to 325.
