Peach and Ginger Braised Short Ribs

Are you ready for these Peach and Ginger Braised Short Ribs? They are amazingly comforting and incredibly flavorful and so delicious!  Today I’m sharing my secrets for tender, delicious and flavorful beef ribs. 

Until just recently I didn’t really like short ribs.  I think the problem was the cooking methods that I was trying.  I thought that I needed to boil the heck out of them or cook them in some sort of pungent concoction.  After several test runs, I have changed my mind.  I like short ribs, A LOT!

I got this shiny new 3 1/2 quart Le Creuset Braiser (in my new favorite Caribbean color)  that makes cooking short ribs a breeze.  I tell you, the pan really does make a difference.  

I seasoned the short ribs with salt and pepper and added a little bacon fat to the braiser and browned the short ribs really quickly.  I poured brewed coffee over the ribs, threw in some garlic, put the lid on it and let it cook in the oven for about 3 hours.  There’s my secrets: LeCreuset Braiser, Bacon Fat and Coffee!

Just before the ribs came out of the oven, I made a flavorful sauce with peach preserves, orange juice, fresh ginger, garlic and soy sauce.  I poured this over the ribs and simmered them for about another 30 minutes.

This was an amazing dinner served up with Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes and Skillet Cornbread. So comforting and so delicious.  I know you are going to love it!
