Braised Beef (Simmering) Boneless Ribs
Boneless short ribs might not really be ribs at all but, we find they are much leaner than the bone in variety. If you do make the bone in beef short ribs, it’s a good idea to make then the day before. Let them cool completely and then cover and refrigerate until the next day. Skim the fat and re heat. Regardless of the type of ribs you use, the flavor improves the next day.
