Why We Love It

• Our sauce makes it easy to enjoy the rich flavors of classic short ribs. We've combined Burgundy and port wines with veal demi-glace, aged balsamic vinegar and herbs, plus carrots, celery and sweet caramelized onions, and simmered them for hours. Serve your hearty, homemade short ribs with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.
