Braised short ribs is one of my favorite dishes to cook when the weather cools. I have a variety of dishes for this great cut of beef that I use on wet and snowy days, as well as when it’s chilly and I want to have something comforting! I’ve been cooking this recipe for French short ribs for many years and will continue to do so.

2 Tbsp. Tomato paste
2 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
2 Bay leaves
½ tsp. Ground thyme
1 tsp. Dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
