Ingredients
- 10 to 12 Beef Short Ribs
- 2 to 4 tbls W’ham Seasoning – Cajun
- 1/2 Cup W’ham Sauce – Marinade
- 16 oz Kettle & Fire Beef Stock
- 5 to 6 whole carrots – peeled

- 2 tbls Minced Garlic
- 1 Can Guinness Draught Stout
- 2 large sweet onions – halved and sliced
- 1 small bag of small yellow potatoes

Instructions
- Trim any excess fat from top of short ribs
- Massage 2 tbls of W’ham Sauce – Marinade on each rib
- Sprinkle W’ham Seasoning – Cajun or Original Mild on all side of ribs, place in container and set aside
- Prepare your choice of cooking equipment. We like the versatility of the Big Green Egg and the flavor of Royal Oak Charcoal for this recipe, but any grill or cooker will work just fine. Allow the temperature to reach 400° or 500° if using the Egg and arrange your charcoal and grates for direct heat cooking.
- While your cooker is heating up prepare the vegetables and set aside
- Place your seasoned short ribs directly on the grate bone side down and seer for 5 minutes, then flip over on each side every 5 minutes to develop a crust and allow the seasoning to begin to caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium to large Dutch oven or grill safe pot add the beef tallow or olive oil and heat on grill.
- Add the onion, celery and garlic and sauté, stirring frequently until soften and onions become translucent.
- Add short ribs to pot
- Add beef stock/broth
- Add remaining W’ham Sauce – Marinade
- Add 1 can of Guinness
- Add whole carrots to top
- Cover and reduce heat on cooker to 300° to 325°
- Allow to simmer for 2 hours and then add the small yellow potatoes to the top and recover
- Simmer and additional 1 to 2 hours allow the potatoes to steam and absorb the flavors
- Once potatoes are soft – remove the pot from heat allow to rest for 20 minutes covered
