Notes
Leftover beef short ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the ribs with the sauce for up to 3 months. For extra flavor, sear the ribs in batches to avoid crowding the pan. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid in the last hour of cooking.
