Beef Short Rib Stew With Yuca Recipes

SLOW-COOKER BEEF STEW WITH YUCA

Steps:

• Place the beef in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the yuca, squash and Cubanelle pepper around the beef in a single layer. Combine the tomato sauce, 1/2 cup water, the cilantro stems, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Pour all over the meat and vegetables. Cover and cook on low until the meat is tender and easy to pull apart, 8 hours.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the red onion. Bring the vinegar, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the red onion, submerging the slices. Let cool, then transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Remove the meat to a plate and shred into bite-size chunks with 2 forks, discarding any large pieces of fat. Skim off any excess fat from the remaining stew in the slow cooker. Stir the meat back into the stew and season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls. Top with the chopped cilantro leaves. Drain the pickled red onion and serve with the stew.

MALTA-BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH PICKLED SWEET PEPPERS AND YUCCA MASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• To make the green paste, add the onion, green pepper, cilantro leaves and stems, garlic and olive oil to a blender and process until a paste forms. If necessary, add a little extra olive oil to help move the paste along.
• Set a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the canola oil and sazon.
• While the oil heats up, dry the short ribs with a paper towel and cover them in a generous amount of salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear the short ribs on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs to a plate. Add 1/2 cup of the chicken stock to the skillet, stir to deglaze and then set aside.
• Place a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the green paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock from the skillet, then add the oregano, bay leaves, tomato paste, vinegar, malta and remaining 1 cup chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and add the seared ribs to the Dutch oven.
• Cover the pot, transfer to the oven and cook until the ribs are very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. To serve, spoon the Yucca Mash into a shallow bowl, top with the ribs and spoon over the sauce. Garnish with Pickled Sweet Peppers and cilantro leaves.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the yucca to the boiling water and enough salt so the water tastes like the sea. Cook until the yucca is fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Add the cream and butter to a medium pan set over medium heat. As soon as it starts to simmer, add the yucca and mash with a fork or potato masher until just incorporated. Do not overmix as it will make the yucca gluey. Add salt to taste.
• Put the peppers and garlic in a 12- to 16-ounce mason jar.
• In a small pot, bring the vinegar, honey, salt and 1/4 cup water to a boil.
• Add the pickling liquid to the mason jar almost to the tippy top. Let it cool, then put on the lid. Set it aside until serving.

THE BEST BEEF SHORT RIB STEW

Steps:

• Brown your short ribs in a frying pan with a small amount of olive oil.
• (I used one package of bone in ribs and one package of boneless).
• Once they're browned, place them in a large pot along with the sliced onions.
• Now fill the pot up with water. Use enough water to cover your meat.
• You will now want to add the ranch, Italian, gravy mix, and salt.
• Once you've added those ingredients, stir them together well, cover your pot, and bring to a boil.
• Once your stew is boiling reduce the heat to a medium low and let cook for a few hours until the meat is soft and falling apart.
• Once the meat is finished, add the carrots and potatoes and cook for 30 to 40 more mins on a medium low until your vegetables are tender.
• Bon appetit :).
