Learn how to cook short ribs with this basic recipe passed down to me from my mom and grandmother. I changed it a little, and you can too. For instance, you can braise the beef ribs in almost any liquid. The short ribs cook for hours in a flavorful broth and turn out delicious and tender every time.

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic

Add onion and garlic to the skillet; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Return ribs to the skillet. Pour in beer while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan. Pour in beef stock.
Cover and simmer over low heat until ribs are very tender, about 2 hours.

Tips

If your ribs are very fatty (which most tend to be), you can let the sauce cool and skim the fat off the top before serving.
