"I used this recipe for my first attempt to braised short ribs. I'm relatively new to the kitchen and was a little nervous to tackle this dish. Thank goodness that this recipe was so easy to follow. I followed every step except I used cajun seasoning instead of creole seasoning since I couldn't find them in the supermarket and didn't want to buy all the other ingredients needed to make your own. The dish came out tasting great except for the gravy was a little too runny (more like a soup than sauce). I husband helped himself to more than 1/2 the pot! I'll definitely use this recipe again and might consider thickening the sauce next time.
