Black Pepper Mustard Braised Short Ribs Recipes

PEPOSA DELL'IMPRUNETA (TUSCAN BLACK PEPPER BEEF)

Add crushed peppercorns and ground pepper. Distribute evenly over all sides of beef. Transfer to a deep skillet or Dutch oven bone side down. Tuck sage leaves, rosemary, and dry bay leaves between pieces of meat. Carefully add wine along the side of the pan to avoid washing over the top of the meat.
