This made the most luscious sauce. Because of competing demands for the oven, I finished this by simmering on top of the stove for about 30 min (rather than uncovered in the oven), and for that reason I browned the ribs first. I also used homemade turkey stock, because I had it handy. But otherwise prepared the dish as written. Just wonderful. I used bone in ribs, and for us this was really just two servings.

I just made this dish and we all loved it thank You. I will make this one of my favorite meals. Very easy and very tasty.

I made this in my new pressure cooker. Other than the cooking method, I followed the recipe closely, except that I browned the ribs first and added the cornstarch at the end. The ribs were fabulous - so tender, and the sauce was very nice. Leftovers were at least as good as the original offering.

This is very delicious comfort food that creates gravy without any work. I used boneless short ribs that I browned after dusting with flour and omitted the cornstarch and the heating of the first few ingredients. Next time I am going to blend all of the sauce ingredients beforehand so the gravy-like sauce will become smoother.
