This recipe for Short Ribs in Pomegranate Demi-Glace would make a spectacular Christmas Eve dinner. A deep red, tangy-sweet pomegranate sauce spooned over fork-tender beef and super creamy polenta, punctuated by peppery watercress — it’s so rich and satisfying, it definitely lives up to its meaty good looks. This is the sort of dish that’s meant to be shared, perfect for a cozy holiday gathering with friends and a great bottle of wine. 

For the wine, we recommend a 2021 vintage @DAOUVineyardsWineryPasoRobles cabernet — its stunning aromas of raspberry, cranberry, blackberry, cassis, tobacco, and toffee pair so well with the richness of the beef. It’s also definitely an age-worthy wine, and on special through 12/26, so make sure to pick up extra bottles. Carefully stored in your wine cellar, it’s a delicious red that you can enjoy for many years to come.

One more tip: In a simple dish like this one, the quality of the beef really shines. We’re very proud to be the only SoCal supermarket chain to carry Certified Angus Beef® Brand of USDA Prime beef. It’s beautiful, abundantly marbled meat. Our prime short ribs will sear up with a golden brown crust and roast with exceptional flavor — for a beautiful, impressive meal.
