Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs bone-in beef short ribs
  • 1 cup Guinness stout
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced

  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 lb parsnips, peeled and chopped
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Season short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
