St. John's Stout Braised Beef Ribs

Step 1

Cut into individual ribs. Season the ribs with salt and pepper then dredge them in plain flour before browning them in some canola oil in a large frying pan. Work in small batches so as not to crowd the pan. This will make browning the ribs easier.

Step 2

Transfer the browned beef ribs to a large covered roasting pan, I use a large enamel covered turkey roaster. To the roasting pan add the remaining ingredients, EXCEPT the mushrooms.

Step 3

Place the covered roaster in a 300 degree F oven for about 4 hours or until the meat easily pulls away from the bone. In the last 1/2 hour of cooking time you can add the mushrooms.

Step 4

Once fully cooked remove the ribs from the roasting pan and skim the fat from the gravy/jus. I find that a gravy strainer (fat separator) works very well for this. Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
