In order the luck of the Irish smiles upon us this week, I kicked the cliche’d, oft-boiled corned beef to the curb and busted out some brief ribs braised in Guinness stout.
Braised brief ribs is basically a stew that cooks low and sluggish for hours till the meat virtually falls aside in your fork. It sinks comfortably right into a pile of mashed potatoes and melds superbly with flavorful broth and tender greens. The Guinness not solely Irishes up the dish but in addition balances the flavors so your gravy is richer than if you happen to use water however not as “beefy” as if you happen to used all inventory. The result’s a straightforward, comforting meal that may even be made the night time earlier than. Take pleasure in with a Guinness stout, after all—Grandma would approve. Slainte!
