This strawberry buttercream frosting recipe has wonderful, fresh strawberry flavor. I make this every year for my son's birthday.
Braised Short Ribs
These sherry braised short ribs are pretty much foolproof. As long as two things happen when you make this recipe, you are in for some very fine eats. First, the beef must be well browned— I'm talking deep, dark, crusty, and caramelized. The other key step is easier. Just braise them until they're fork-tender. To paraphrase an expression, "stick a fork in them, they're done." After browning properly, the only way to mess these up is to undercook them, so don't.
