Braised Short Ribs (Edit recipe)

I recently purchased a dutch oven and absolutely love it! I wanted something that I could use in the oven to cook roasts different types of meats for hours. I love my pressure cooker, but there is something about a dutch oven that fills your home with the best smell and makes your meal feel extra special. I recently purchased the Staub Cast Iron 4 qt. Cocotte linked here. It’s been a great tool to have in the kitchen and is the perfect size for the two of us. Typically, I just leave it out on the stovetop because it’s used so frequently and I love the aesthetic. This recipe is so simple to prepare and once you do, you literally just need to set it into the oven and let it go. The short ribs become tender and juicy and the liquid reduces into a rich, creamy sauce that is perfect for drizzling over a pile of mashed potatoes. but what about the wine? You can absolutely substitute the grape juice for wine. I love cooking with wine, but while completing a Whole30, alcohol is not compatible on the program. Grape juice is the perfect workaround. It gives the sauce a rich and luxurious layer of flavor that really sets this dish apart. Don’t like grape juice? Try pomegranate.
