Olive Garden's Chianti Braised Short Ribs!

Braising, one of Olive Garden Executive Chef Paolo Lafata's favorite techniques, is a slow cooking process that produces extremely tender and flavorful meat without much effort. A great choice for the cooler months, the dish is anchored by tender beef short ribs that are slow cooked in a Chianti wine sauce and accompanied by a savory Portobello mushroom risotto, with a hint of Marsala wine.
