Braised Beef Short Ribs make a super flavorful and fun appetizer for the holidays, be it Christmas or New Year’s celebrations! The tender, beefy flavor of the Certified Angus Beef ® brand short ribs is complemented by the deep, dark, sweet chili flavor of the sauce in this appetizer. All of this brought together makes this appetizer absolutely mouthwatering!

Why I made short rib appetizers

Short Ribs were always something I would love to eat out, but never had made at home. I would drool over photos from fellow food bloggers who were making short ribs and think that I would need to buy some and just make them.

Once I tried them, I realized I was completely wrong in thinking these were difficult! These ribs were so easy to make and they are a perfect appetizer for your party or a delicious and satisfying main course. Whichever way you decide to go, you won’t regret it, I promise!
