Trader Joe’s Boneless Beef Short Ribs in Burgundy Sauce

God bless Trader Joe’s! I mean, really, TJ’s is such a honey hole when it comes to specialty items and prepared foods. We are totally in love with the prepared Beef Short Ribs in Burgundy wine sauce. We gussy up this dish with some grated carrots and a splash of vinegar and soy, and serve it with green beans (or whatever greens you like) and a few boiled fingerling potatoes. Super easy and fast, and… YUM! These short ribs are a standout product and a real lifesaver when you are in a pinch. Run grab yourself a couple packages. It’s Trader Joe’s to the rescue!

• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
• 6 medium carrots, peeled and grated
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• pepper
• 2 (one-lb) packages fully cooked boneless beef short ribs, braised in burgundy wine sauce from Trader Joes

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, soy (or Bragg), red wine vinegar and pepper. Cook until softened, 3-5 minutes. Add the contents of both packages of short ribs. (If the beef ribs come in a big slab, we cut them into smaller portions.) Add a splash of water to each plastic container, swirl and pour into the skillet, getting every last drop of the savored Burgundy sauce. Pour into the pan, cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until warmed through.  Serve with blanched green beens and potatoes.

Serves 4-6

Note: Bragg Liquid Aminos is a certified non-gmo liquid protein concentrate made from soybeans that contains 16 healthy amino acids in naturally occurring amounts. It is a soy sauce substitute in our household because it is gluten-free. We love it on salads, veggies, rice, beans, poultry, and meats. Look for it at Whole Foods or any health food store.
