This beef short ribs recipe was passed down to me from my mom and grandmother. The short ribs are braised for hours in a flavorful beer and beef broth and turn out delicious and tender every time.

Cook’s Note
You can braise the beef ribs in almost any liquid.
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.
