Best Short Ribs I’ve ever had
This recipe is more a matter of collecting ingredients and then letting the short ribs cook long and slow. I serve this dish on special occasions and it is a big hit!

Hubby and I loved it!
I did everything the recipe said. Left out the lemony onions. It was delicious. The sweet potatoes and sauce were a perfect combo!
