Enjoy a taste of one of Chef Vanessa's signature dishes. Boneless beef short ribs are braised in a rich and spicy sauce until super rich and tender, then served with Haitian-style stewed vegetables—known as legumes—as well as black beans and rice. One bite and you'll see why this dish earned Chef Vanessa top spot on Rocco's Dinner Party on Bravo.
