INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 pounds beef short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons flour, salt, and pepper. Coat the short ribs with the flour mixture.
