Brazilian Beef Short Rib Stew


"This is no ordinary beef stew, this is a delicious Brazilian version, called Vaca Atolada and it has so much delicious flavor! It starts with beef short ribs which are marbled with fat for tons of flavor. They are coated in flour and then seared. Then, they are cooked with onions, garlic, yuca root (or cassava), cilantro, red wine, broth, and tomatoes. The beef becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender. The yuca takes on a sort of potato role and the onions and tomatoes bring in sweet notes. The wine and broth and garlic bring so much deep flavor. The best part is that this all cooks in the slow cooker so it's incredibly easy! Of course, you can also make it in the oven (instructions provided). Either way, just make it! It's typically served by itself or over rice. "
