Take the guesswork out of cooking with this simple yet elegant Braised Short Ribs recipe. It's perfect for a holiday meal or Sunday dinner.

We are setting the table for a real holiday feast, thanks to our friends at Sonoma-Cutrer. We love to entertain and there is no better time than the holidays to do so. Our family is spread out around the country, which unfortunately limits our time together. This holiday season we are hopeful to be able to spend some quality time with those closest to us, and we’ve created a very special Braised Rosemary Short Rib dish worthy of celebration.

While we all love to get together and enjoy a delicious meal, even I would rather spend time exchanging gifts and sharing stories, not slaving all day in the kitchen. These Braised Rosemary Short Ribs are ideal for a holiday gathering, as they can be prepared before your guests arrive and simply placed in the oven two hours before you plan to serve dinner.

We chose to pair these short ribs with Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. This richly textured, silky and elegant red enriches the flavor of the savory beef short ribs. Rest assured that is recipe is rich, beautiful, and most of all full-proof. I have found that while most people love short ribs, they are intimidated to prepare them at home. This recipe takes the guesswork out of cooking and allows the host to relax and enjoy the holidays. We recommend serving the Braised Rosemary Short Ribs over mashed potatoes (of course!), but they would also work with a homemade noodle or a bowl of freshly made polenta. And no meal is complete without several sides of veggies: we recommend Apple Cider Roasted Brussel Sprouts. With a little planning, some reliable recipes, and some good bottles of wine, a holiday gathering can be enjoyable and stress-free.
