This is actually a classic French recipe for braised beefshort ribs. But I had to include it because it serves as the perfect tender andmoist beef for a few dishes in the book. Here I’ve given it a Thai twist withlemongrass, star anise, cilantro and fish sauce. Short ribs are better served aday or two after they are cooked.
