Braised Short Ribs

This recipe comes from our Chef Orlando. He has been with us since 2015 and continues to come up with amazing specials and menu items. He has worked in many restaurants and brings a wealth of imagination, knowledge and skill to our kitchen. We are lucky to have him!

We serve the short ribs with mashed potatoes, a sauce made from the jus of the braising liquid, and a sweet potato hash, which is a mixture of roasted sweet potato, zucchini, red onions, and brussel sprouts sauteed in butter seasoned with salt and pepper. It’s also delicious served with a pile of steamed rice, sauteed shiitake mushroom and green onions for garnish.

This entree we had on the menu until recently and now we feature it as a dinner special. One of our guests requested we post this recipe and we are more than happy to do so!
