Mississippi Beef Short Ribs
This Mississippi short ribs recipe is a version of Mississippi pot roast. To explain: the internet recently went wild for a delicious Mississippi pot roast in which beef is braised in a slow cooker with butter, pepperoncini, and packets of powdered au jus gravy and ranch dressing. Assuming that MSG from the latter two ingredients led to all the rage, I decided to mimic the flavors using seasonings I made from scratch and boneless short ribs. It came out well, especially when served over mashed potatoes with a garnish of parsley.
