Short Ribs in a Clay Pot


This is a wonderful recipe for short ribs and it is super simple. It does, however, take 3 hours to cook and requires the use of a clay pot (see picture - no I did not take this picture). I like to eat it with baked potatoes or pasta (like orzo). Enjoy.

Short Ribs

3-4 pounds of beef short ribs (this amount also depends on the size of your clay pot)
2 tablespoons honey
1 can (14oz) of diced tomatoes or tomato sauce
2 tablespoons Worschestershire
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 medium onion, minced
1-2 cloves of garlic, mashed

1. Soak the clay pot in water (lid and bottom) for 15 minutes
2. In small saucepan, combine all ingredients but the onions and garlic. Stir until bubbly.
3. Take off heat.
4. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper and toss the onions and garlic in the clay pot.
5. Pour the tomato sauce over the ribs in the pan.
6.  Place clay pot in a COLD oven and turn to 375 degrees F. Let cook for about 3 hours.
7. When one hour is remaining, you can place potatoes in the clay pot and let them bake in the yummy juices.

Note: Do not make the same mistake as me and wind up with a nasty burn -- open the clay pot away from you and beware of the steam!!!!

  1. Mmmm.... now saved in my recipe folder. Except I don't have a clay pot so this might have to be a joint project!

  3. This was a fantastic recipe! You're right- so easy-although we're sorry that you had to suffer with a steam burn to guide us to a safer method of lid removal.
