Author Notes

It's a good to the bone beef dish. The bone ribs flavor the sauce during the long braising of these short ribs until it literary falls off its own rib. This is my favorite dish since we landed here in late 80s in Northern Virginia. Though its only lately, in the past few years, the Metro DC area (DC, MD and NoVA), has been credited for its topnotch cuisine. Three restaurants earned 2 Michelin stars announced last week, October 13, 2016. Being in the Metro DC area with the foreign embassies, international organizations like the World Bank, IMF and IFC to name a few, needless to say, brings to the community the varied cuisines from these organizations from countries it represent.---Adapted from Peru Delight blog. —thechewinn-nova.com
