Beef short ribs are pretty much foolproof, and as long as two things happen, you are in for some very fine eats. First, the beef must be really well browned – I'm talking deep, dark, crusty, and caramelized. The other key step is easier. To paraphrase an expression, 'stick a fork in them, they're done.' Just braise them until they're fork-tender. After browning properly, the only way to mess these up is to undercook them, so don't.

Ingredients

  • slices bacon: 4 piece (cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
  • ½ pounds beef short ribs: 3 piece
  • salt and ground black pepper: (to taste)
  • sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped: 6 piece
  • bay leaf: 1 piece
  • onion: 1 piece (diced)
  • garlic: 3 clove (minced)
  • all-purpose flour: 2 Tbsp
  • dry sherry: 1 cup
  • quart beef broth: 1 piece
