I have about 4 pounds of beef short ribs. I braised one half using the Buckwheat Honey and Beer recipe. I was thinking about doing something differe

I enjoyed this recipe: http://www.food52.com/recipes/8603_mexican_short_ribs

I modified a bit, using whole dried peppers which I toasted a bit, then soaked, then tossed in the blender to liquefy. I also used a bit of orange juice in the braising liquid.

The short rib ragu, which won the Food52 short ribs recipe contest, is amazing. I made it a few nights ago. http://www.food52.com/recipes/8578_short_rib_ragu
