Saucy and incredibly tender stout-braised beef short ribs are piled high over creamy bowls of mascarpone polenta for the ultimate AND surprisingly easy cold weather comfort food!

Yes, I did say easy PEASY and yes, I sure did say beef short ribs + mascarpone polenta are gracing your dinner plans tonight. Commence uncontrollable drooling.

And imma bout to go live in that pot down there til spring. Bye.

There’s just something about a big ‘ol cozy pot of braised beef that gets me EVERY time. It’s herby, it’s incredibly saucy, it’s got fall-apart tender meat + veggies, and you get to pile it over something incredible like mashed potatoes or creamy polenta like we are doing today.
