There are so many great options. I like to serve mine with a variety of side dishes but these are some of my favorites. Decadent Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes are always great and can be served as a bed for the balsamic short ribs. Another option is my Whipped Roasted Garlic Sweet Potatoes. Braised short ribs with risotto is another favorite combination. Buttered egg noodles and a roasted or steamed veggie would also work.
