Short Ribs with Poblano Chilies and Buttery Mashed Potatoes
Slow cooked braised meats are my favorite
The smell of meat being braised, low and slow, is one of my favorite scents in my home. It usually means it is a Sunday and we are being total home bodies for the day.
Short ribs is one of my favorite cuts of beef. When seasoned and cooked right, they literally fall off the bone and have an incredible flavor and texture.
I love my short ribs to be seasoned and served with something rib sticking like potatoes. I discovered my inspirational recipe in Bon Appetit Magazine over 20 years ago and played around it it. This is my favorite version as I like a lot of juice to pour over the potatoes. This recipe for mashed potatoes is incredible and I love it. It is not low calorie. Do not try to make it low calorie. Follow the instructions to a tee. You live one. Splurge and enjoy these potatoes made famous by Joel Robuchon.
I hope you will try this recipe out for your family. It is worth the time, trust me.
