Braised Short Rib Poutine

If there's one thing that's guaranteed to be good no matter how I do it, it's braised beef short ribs. That sexy combination of thick beef, white marbling that streaks across the red, and bone will have you in a pool of drool. Easily one of my favourite cuts of meat.

The red wine braising liquid also gets love, reduced into a proper jus.

Sweet potato fries and, last but not least, cheddar cheese curds.
