• You cän sub beef chuck roäst for short ribs. If you cän’t find beef short ribs, feel free to substitute beef chuck roäst insteäd. If I häve the time, I will cut the roäst into short rib sized pieces for eäsy portion control änd serving.
• Don’t skip the seär! Seäring the beef short ribs is going to ädd ä very importänt läyer of flävor. It might seem like än ännoying exträ step, but it’s well worth the exträ time änd effort!
