This tempting dish is prepared by slowly cooking short ribs over low heat with a rico combination of beer, garlic, cumin, onion, tomato and other seasonings. The goal of this recipe is to leave you with tender ribs full of sabor, with a preparation that’s simple and easy. All that’s required is a little patience as the ribs will take some time to cook, but afterwards the meat will be so soft it will practically fall of the bone. In my opinion, these types of dishes are much tastier when they are prepared with meat still on the bone-it adds extra flavor while cooking. But if you don’t really like bones in your meal, as in the case of my husband and kids, this recipe can be adapted to use a bone-less cut of meat to keep them happy. When serving, I like to accompany these ribs with white rice to soak up all that deliciosa salsa.
