I am thrilled to partner with Holland House Cooking Wines to bring you this fabulous braised short ribs recipe. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

The holiday season calls for comfort food and entertaining. Braised beef short ribs with a red wine sauce are the perfect comfort food recipe that is great for a family meal or a hosted dinner party.

Colder weather always has me wishing for comfort food with big flavors. Red cooking wine braised beef is perfect for your winter cravings and is perfect for any meal: from dinner with family to a dinner party you are hosting for friends.

What is braised beef?

Braising means you first brown the beef in oil. Then, you cook it in a small amount of liquid in a pan with a tight lid. You can braise in the oven or on the stove top. The long, slow cooking time helps turn tougher beef cuts into fork-tender dishes.

I choose short ribs and Holland House Red Cooking Wine to make this red wine braised beef. Holland House’s cooking wines are the perfect way to add a bold boost of flavor. The Red Cooking Wine offers a smooth, medium-bodied wine flavor that is perfect for a beef or lamb dish. {Be sure to visit the new Holland House website to download a redeemable coupon for your next grocery store visit.}

So, a lot of people ask me how to cook short ribs. I tell them that braising is so perfect because it will make them fork tender and, just like in this recipe, they will be cooked low and slow allowing them to soak up so much flavor.

Once the braised short ribs are cooked, I shred the meat with forks and serve it over creamy polenta or mashed potatoes. Just be sure to scoop up some of the delicious red wine cooking sauce and drizzle over the finished plate.

As you prepare for the holidays be sure to explore all of the Holland House Cooking Wines that are available including Marsala, Sherry, Red, White, and White with Lemon. Holland House Cooking Wines make a great addition to all of your favorite holiday dishes: from vegetarian to meat centric.
