Slow Cooked Short Rib of Beef with Pumpkin

I cooked this dish today in Jersey while over there cooking with my brand partners Symphony kitchens. The guest seemed to love this dish and were really surprised how cheap and very tasty short rib can be. Always remember the cheaper the cut the longer the cook.
