For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the onions and garlic. If you don't have stout beer, you can substitute with another dark beer or even red wine. The braising liquid can be thickened into a gravy after the ribs are cooked. Simply remove the ribs, strain the liquid, and simmer over medium heat until reduced to your desired consistency. A cornstarch slurry can be used if a thicker gravy is desired. These short ribs are delicious served with mashed potatoes, polenta, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
