Wonderful Short Ribs

Ingredients:
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoons salt ( I used a little less)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 medium onion, cut into rings
3 pounds beef short ribs
5 minced cloves of garlic
2 tsp tomato paste

Directions:
1.In a large pan over medium-high heat, stir in tomato sauce, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in parsley, thyme, bay leaves, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add onions and short ribs, and stir together until the mixture comes to a boil.
2.Cover, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer; stirring occasionally and skimming fat from surface, until meat is tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove bay leaves before serving.

I caught shortribs on sale at the little grocery store here in town. I used about 2 1/2 pounds boneless shortribs for this recipe.
Here is how I did it. I Seasoned the ribs both sides with a pinch of salt and some fresh pepper. Browned them in hot olive oil just until they got caramel colored and a bit crusty. Took out the ribs and put them on a plate. Then I softened my onions and garlic in the same pan til they got a little soft. Threw everything else in there and simmered on a low heat for about three hours. I used a dutch oven for this. Jon and I had ours served over butter noodles. I couldnt find the 28oz can of tomato sauce I swear I bought at Walmart last week so I used an equal amount of Bertolli's Marinara sauce from a jar.

This recipe is fantastic! It tasted like a sit down meal from a fancy restaurant. This is the best recipe I have tried in months.

Janie- I'm tryin' these for sure! Won't be for a few days 'cause I've got a few other things I need to get rid of first, but as soon as I hit the store, I'm makin'em! Thanks for sharing!

We tried these for dinner with guests yesterday and they were absolutely out of this world...as you said, just like a high-end restaurant meal for which you'd pay a fortune! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe - we enjoyed it greatly and our friends wanted the recipe!

I'm going to try these too. Could you use a slow cooker as well as a Dutch Oven? Except for the browning of course.

I too made Janie's Fantastic Short Rib recipe yesterday... along with mama's scrumptious Mountain Dew Cake. The meal was absolutely fantastic and my family LOVED it!
