1. Place the beef short ribs in a large bowl.

8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily fall off the bone.
9. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the baking dish and keep warm.
10. Strain the cooking liquid from the baking dish into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
11. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the boiling sauce, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
12. Serve the beef short ribs sauerbraten with the thickened sauce on the side.
