Tender, Slow-Braised Recipes

Braising is my favorite cold-weather technique for turning humble cuts into something special. From rustic mains, like my red wine braised beef to comforting braised beef short ribs, these dishes prove that a little patience and a Dutch oven can produce restaurant-worthy flavor. These are the recipes I turn to when I want a meal that tastes like it’s been simmering all day.
