Braised Beef Short Ribs with Red Wine & Treacle

November 27

If you’ve never had beef short ribs before, you’re missing out on one of life’s great pleasures. Beef short ribs should be so tender that the meat literally falls off the bone with a fork. Serve them with soft Parmesan polenta as suggested here or they are also delicious with creamy mashed potatoes.

Sticky BBQ Spare Ribs

July 03

I don’t know about you but my absolute favourite thing about summer barbecues is the ribs! Sweet and sticky tender meat, slow roasted and then finished off over hot coals is my idea of heaven! These ribs are covered in my go to BBQ sauce which I make again and again throughout the summer and makes any meat finger licking good!
