Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the short ribs in oil in a skillet, then drain the peaches.
- Reserve 3/4 cup of peach juice from the can.
- Mix the reserved juice with soy sauce, catsup, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
- Add the sauce to the browned ribs and peaches in a baking dish.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 2 hours.
- Add the peach halves to the dish and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider marinating the short ribs in the soy sauce mixture overnight. If fresh peaches are available, use them instead of canned for a brighter flavor. You can also substitute the beef short ribs with pork ribs for a different twist. Ensure the skillet is hot enough to achieve a good sear on the meat, which adds depth to the dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Peachy Short Ribs over a bed of fluffy rice or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad complements the richness of the dish. For a delightful pairing, consider serving with a glass of light red wine. This dish also pairs beautifully with Barbecued Meats, making it a great centerpiece for gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Peachy Short Ribs should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the ribs in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a 300°F oven until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of peach juice to keep them moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat for this recipe?
Yes, while beef short ribs are traditional, you can substitute them with pork ribs or even chicken thighs. Each option will bring a unique flavor profile, and adjusting the cooking time may be necessary depending on the meat you choose.
How do I know when the short ribs are done?
The short ribs are done when they are fork-tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone. Cooking them slowly at 350°F for 2 hours ensures they become tender and flavorful, so check for tenderness before serving.
Can I prepare this dish in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dish up to the baking step and store it in the refrigerator for a day. When ready to serve, simply bake it as directed, adding a bit of time if it's coming straight from the fridge to ensure everything is heated through.
