This looks amazing!
Thanks for the recipe.
No problem!
What type/brand of red wine did you use?
I used Woodbridge Cabernet sauvignon, which is cheap price but the quality is quite impressive. You can find really easily at any regular grocery stores. But any dry red wine will do fantastic for this recipe! 🙂
How many servings does this make?
It’s 4 servings. 🙂
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe! I made it this evening and my husband was in heaven! Finger licking good! (:
Wish I could attach the photos to this so you can see how it turned out.
Love your recipes!
What is the name and brand of the red wine you used to make this dish?
It’s beaujolais-villages louis jado
Hello! I tried this recipe and it was amazing! Is there a way I can make it in a slow cooker?
Yes, I believe you can make it in a slow cooker! I’ve never done it before but I think on low heat 6 to 8 hours will do the job!
Where did you get your butcher block cutting board and what is the size?
I don’t use that cutting board any more and don’t remember where I got it! (I got it a few years ago and this recipe is more than 2 years old) But this is my recent cutting board- http://amzn.to/2mEA6V2
I don’t have red wine so can I substitute red wine with something else? Or can I just cook without it. Thanks
Red wine is quite important ingredients for this recipe for the main flavor. So please fine one and use it for this recipe!
This recipe is a favorite in my family including a child who doesn’t like the taste of any sort of meat! The smell of it cooking draws everyone to the table before I’m ready to serve it. Love that the ingredients are pantry staples and the recipe is very easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

YAY~! So happy to hear that Rose! Happy late birthday to your son, wish he had a great day!!
I’m not sure why my meat came out tough. Do you think I should cook longer?
It suppose to fall off from the bone tender according the recipe. But some reason the short ribs are still tough, just cook it longer! 😀
