When it comes to favourite recipes, these slowly braised beef short ribs in a rich herb-orange flavoured sauce served with lots of creamy mashed potatoes are the quintessence of comfort food.

Ingredients

3 lb (1.5 kg) boneless beef short ribs
2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil
2 onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp (5 mL) dried rosemary
1 tsp (5 mL) thyme leaves, crumbled
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
½ tsp (2 mL) freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ cup (375 mL) beef stock (approx.)
1 cup (250 mL) canned diced tomatoes, including juice
2 tbsp (25 mL) Worcestershire sauce
3 strips orange peel (3-inch/8 cm in long)

Directions

Pat short ribs dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil in Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat; brown short ribs, in batches and adding more oil as needed, until browned on all sides. Transfer to plate.

Add onions, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper to pan; cook over medium heat, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until softened.

Add stock, tomatoes with juice, Worcestershire sauce and orange peel. Return beef and accumulated juices to pan; bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat; simmer for 2 hours, adding additional stock to keep beef covered while braising, until beef is fork-tender.
