      2  tablespoons   vegetable oil
  2-1/2  pounds        short ribs, -- cut into individual ribs
      2  tablespoons   Creole seasoning
      1  cup           chopped onions
    1/2  cup           chopped celery
    1/2  cup           chopped carrot
      1  cup           peeled, seeded & chopped tomatoes
      2  tablespoons   chopped garlic
    1/2  cup           red wine vinegar
      2  tablespoons   Worcestershire sauce
      3  bay           leaves

      2  quarts        beef broth
    1/4  cup           chopped scallion (green part only), --
                       for sprinkling

Heat oil in a dutch oven or large, heavy covered pot over high heat.
Season ribs with Creole seasoning, patting it in well with your
hands. When pot is nearly smoking add ribs without crowding them and
sear on all sides until they form a brown crust. Do this in batches,
if necessary. When all ribs have browned, add onions, celery and
carrot; saute 1 minute to brown lightly. Stir in tomatoes, garlic,
vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, pepper and enough broth to
just cover ribs. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to gently simmering,
cover and simmer until very tender, about 2-1/2 hours.

To serve, mound ribs in center of 4 plates, spoon sauce over and
garnish with chopped scallion.

Yield: 4 serving
