Short Rib Mac & Cheese Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Braise the Short Ribs

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear them on all sides until browned. Remove short ribs and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pasta

    Once the short ribs are done, remove them from the pot and shred the meat, discarding bones and excess fat. Strain the braising liquid and reserve.

  3. 3

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a separate pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. In the same pot, add the reserved braising liquid and bring to a simmer. Stir in cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Add the shredded short rib and cooked pasta to the cheese sauce. Stir until well combined. Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired.
