11 Dec Paleo & Whole30 Braised Beef Short Ribs

Today is the coldest day we’ve seen so far this winter. It was 18 degrees this morning, which is pretty darned cold for December in our neck of the woods. I’m on the couch wrapped up in the fuzziest of blankets, a sleeping baby tucked in my arm and lazy cat curled up on my knees with A Christmas Story playing in the background. (Ralphie just narrowly missed shooting out his eye.) I’m still basking in the aftermath of quite possibly the best Whole30 meal I’ve ever eaten, made or even dreamt about. I’m not even kidding…these Paleo & Whole30 Braised Beef Short Ribs are the most amazing things ever! So flavorful and tender with the meat literally falling off the bone, they are mouthwatering, delectable, and just plain exquisite.

I recently made some barbecue beef short ribs in the slow cooker, and they were super-tender. But the sauce was just “meh.” I found this recipe for Braised Short Ribs by The Pioneer Woman and knew it would be easy to make Whole30-compliant. Boy, was I right! And man, were they good! We didn’t have a single bite left over, and my husband, who is usually fairly stingy with compliments, raved about them.

It’s that easy! It does take a little patience. After it’s in the oven for about 15 minutes, you’ll start to smell the herbs mingling with the ribs. As time goes on, the enticing aroma will only become more fragrant and harder to resist. What a wonderful problem to have though!

I served these with some potatoes mashed with coconut milk, ghee, salt and pepper and a non-alcoholic grapefruit mimosa.
