Dredged in flour & seared, the ribs are velvety tender little morsels layered w/ flavor from the beer, beef stock,& fresh herbs. If you have homemade stock it makes all the difference but canned also works. Peppers, onion, & beef are beautiful together.
Forsake mashed potatoes & try cheese tortellini. A slab of beer bread and a cold brew rounds out this meal perfectly!

How to Make Sage And Beer Braised Beef Short Ribs Over Cheese
- Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil in a heavy Dutch oven or soup pan over medium high heat.
Coat beef short ribs with flour on all sides.
Sear on all sides until browned.
Remove meat and set aside. - Add 1 more tablespoon of oil and vegetables into the Dutch oven. Saute for about 8 minutes.
They won't be done. You're just getting them started and they'll finish cooking with the meat. - Pour in beer to deglaze the pan.
Cook 3 or 4 minutes to slightly reduce. - Then add beef stock.
Stir and cook long enough to dissolve to a smooth texture if it's homemade. Canned will only take a couple of minutes. - Nestle ribs back into the pot with the vegetables.
Stir herbs into mixture and salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer on medium low for about 2 hours, until ribs are pull apart tender and vegetables are soft. - While meat rests for 10 minutes, cook cheese tortellini according to package directions. I boil them for 6 to 7 minutes.
Spoon beef short ribs and vegetables over tortellini.
Grate fresh Parmesan or Romano cheese over top and garnish with herbs.
