What to make for New Years Eve Dinner...

My sister shared this recipe with me and this is what I am going to make. Some friends are coming over for a few hours, they have little ones too. Hope they like it!

Braised Short Ribs

1-1/2 lb. boneless beef short ribs, cut into 6 pieces
1/4 c. sifted flour, divided
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 can (14.5 oz.) reduced-sodium beef broth, divided
1 large onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 c. dry red wine, such as Merlot
1/2 c. Kraft original BBQ sauce
1 Tbsp. Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard

Preheat oven to 300. Sprinkle ribs lightly with pepper. Coat ribs with 2 Tbsp. of the flour; gently shake off excess flour.

Heat oil in large ovenproof saute pan with tight-fitting lid or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Add ribs; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned on both sides. Mix remaining 2 Tbsp. flour with ¼ c. of the broth to form thick paste; set aside. Add onions to pan; cook and stir 2-3 min. or until lightly browned. Gradually add wine, stirring constantly to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Reduce heat to low; simmer 2 -3 min. to cook off alcohol. Stir in remaining broth. Return to boil. Stir in BBQ sauce, mustard and reserved flour paste until well blended. Bring to boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; cover with lid. Place in oven.

Bake 2 hours or until ribs are tender.

**I’ve almost tripled the meat for serving company, but the sauce can be left alone as one recipe, it makes so much!

We like it over mashed potatoes. It makes a tasty gravy!


Dessert

Everyones favorite and simple too. Brownies with ice cream and chocolate syrup!!
