If you want something that is bad to the bone, finger licking good, insanely delicious, impossible to mess up, with very little prep then this is it!!!

Jamaican Braised Stew Beef Ribs.

Yes, short ribs.

Another variation of this brown stew chicken here but with short ribs, cooked in the same aromatics: garlic, thyme, bell pepper, smoked paprika, to fall apart tenderness.

Ah! You haven’t lived till you’ve tried these short ribs.

With Valentines Day around the corner this would be a good dish to serve if you are dining in – an alternative to those fancy smancy restaurants.

Jamaican Brown Beef Short Ribs Stew

I remember a short rib recipe I tried at one of those restaurants, yeah! Those restaurants…not hating though. Some of them I would live there, if my pocket book could afford it. But this one just didn’t do it for me. After my dinner I was so famished and upset that I stopped at the super market and got me some ribs, cooked it, like it should be and thoroughly devoured the whole thing. Then, only then, did I truly feel happy. That’s meee.

Okay, here are some few tips to get you going on your way.

  • You can’t rush these short ribs; they have to spend some time braising in liquid in order to get it melting tender. The good news is that, it is hands off, in the oven or stove- top. I prefer the oven.
  • To prevent meat sticking to the pan make sure it is completely dry and free of water.
  • After cooking feel free to drain some of the oil from the short ribs.

Serve it with rice and beans or with Caribbean Coo Coo aka Cornmeal polenta, coming next week.
