Coffee-Braised Short Ribs
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 6 hours
YIELD: 8 servings.
When the leaves start falling, I crave comfort foods like hearty slow-cooked stews and braised meats. I love this recipe because short ribs that cook until tender smell and taste impressive, but are super easy to make.—Melissa Turkington, Camano Islands, Washington
