Short Rib Stew full of carrots, potatoes, onions and mushrooms.. The short ribs fall apart and melt in your mouth.
Short Rib Stew
Here is another Beat the Heat recipe, again cooked on the stove instead of the oven. A good pan with a tight fitting lid is a must for this recipe or you will have to continue to add water as it cooks. I use a Le Creuset Dutch Oven when I want to cook a recipe like this one on the stove.
The short ribs fall apart as it cooks and is amazing! I get the little round onions and carrots from Trader Joe’s, regular or baby carrots will be good also. You can add more vegetables if desired, I used what I had on hand. You could also make this in the crock pot if desired.
When buying short ribs, there are 3 different kinds. Boneless like I used here and cut from the chuck. English cut include the bone and Flanken which is cut across several bones and usually those are the ones you see cut into 2 inch pieces.

- 1 1/2 lbs. short ribs
- 1 tablespoon oil
- salt and pepper
- 3 - 4 garlic cloves
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups chopped onions or baby onions as I used here
- 3 cups chopped carrots
- 10 - 12 baby potatoes cut in half
- 12 oz. whole mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped tarragon or 1/4 teaspoon dried
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley (optional)
- 2 heaping tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 water
- Brown the short ribs in the oil in your dutch oven. When browned add onions, carrots, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the broth and cover the pan. Cook over medium low heat for 45 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, mushrooms and herbs. Cover and cook for another 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Mix together the cornstarch and water. Stir into the stew and cook until juices are thickened.
Anything that helps beat the heat is welcome in my house right now. And, this stew looks awesome! I bet the family would love it.
Everything you make is making my mouth water! This sounds amazing! Short Ribs are a fave of mine and I have no doubt they are perfect in this delicious stew! yummmmm
That is so sweet Marion! They were perfect, short ribs may just become my favorite meat to use when I want beef stew.
I love anything to beat the heat too. The lid to my crockpot just broke and there is a Le Creuset store about 2 minutes away. I would call that fate. Thanks so much!
I love my Dutch Oven and use it a lot. It was well worth the investment!
This is the perfect comfort food, and would beat the heat.
Thanks Michele!
My comment is that you madame cook very well and I love your recipes, but I don’t known how to get some details because you know here in Mozambique we face many problems related with cooking specialy because many things you use for your dishes one doesn’t find esealy here, so maybe you could suggest alternatives. To tell u the truth I’m a man who doesn’t have habilities to cook but appreciates good food. Yours faithfully, Tony, from Mozambique, Africa.
Hi Tony,
I’m afraid I wouldn’t know how to suggest something if I don’t know what it is you don’t have. If you leave me a question about a specific thing I will try to respond.
