Braised Short Ribs have long been one of my most requested dishes as a private chef, and for good reason—they’re the perfect balance of comfort food and elegance. This recipe was actually one of the first I ever shared on my website, and over time I’ve adjusted it by adding new flavors, refining the method, and creating what I now consider my signature version: Red Wine Braised Wagyu Short Ribs.

If you love a good steak dinner, this recipe brings together two classics into one irresistible plate — Steak au Poivre meets Steak Frites with peppercorn sauce!

There’s something about Chicken Piccata with Asparagus & Orzo that always pulls me in the moment I spot it on an Italian menu. The simplicity of the dish—juicy chicken cutlets bathed in a luscious lemon-butter sauce with a pop of briny capers—is completely irresistible. That bold, zesty flavor combo gets me every time.
