I have been dying for Short Ribs.
I use to make them all the time but I am still receiving Home Chef Meals
and they have not offered them.
I have received some negative comments about the cost of the Home Chef meals,
so I thought I would do another comparison post.
$ 10.38 Short Ribs
$ 3.99 Potatoes
$ 3.00 Carrots and Celery
$ .50 Sweet Onion
$ 1.00 Red Wine
$ 1.00 Rachael Ray Beef Stock
The total is $ 19.87, that does not account for the honey, herbs, bay leaf, flour, gravy master or the fact that I had to shop for all of the items. The cost with Home Chef is $ 20.00 per night, $ 10.00 each. Everything is pre-measured...and even though I do a bit of the prep work, I enjoy the amount of work I put in to the meals. All of the ingredients are fresh and delivered right to my door.
If you are interested in this recipe, you can find it here. I made mine in my cast iron, dutch oven on top of the stove, but I have also made them in the slow cooker and they are just as good.
Did I take pictures you ask - well of course I did...
Browning the meat first, very important they say!
After this step, I was getting a tad excited and forgot about taking more pictures.
- ta-da -
This was so amazing!!
This was so amazing!!
I only ate the meat and mashed potatoes, I was not wasting any of my stomach space on carrots.
The hubs ate those!
and as a side/footnote I have been making my mashed potatoes with a ricer.
I bought one right before Christmas
and used it for the first time on my Christmas Dinner mashed potatoes.
It all started with a Martha Stewart video.
Now I steam my potatoes.
Now I steam my potatoes.
Yukon gold potatoes, through the ricer, heavy cream and butter.
They are the best I have ever eaten.
If you don't use one - get one, it is the best thing I ever did.
oooooh and make these Short Ribs, your welcome!
