SHERRY BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer crisped bacon with a slotted spoon to a Dutch oven. Retain bacon drippings in the skillet.
• Generously season short ribs with salt and pepper.
• Heat bacon drippings in the same skillet over high heat. Cook short ribs in hot bacon fat until browned and caramelized on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer ribs to the Dutch oven, reserving drippings in the skillet. Add thyme and bay leaf to the ribs mixture.
• Reduce heat under the same skillet to medium. Cook and stir onion in the skillet until soft and golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Whisk flour into onion mixture and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Pour sherry into onion mixture; cook until thick and hot, about 2 minutes. Pour onion-sherry mixture into Dutch oven; add beef broth and salt to taste. Bring ribs mixture to a simmer and cover the Dutch oven with a lid.
• Transfer Dutch oven to the preheated oven and cook until short ribs are fork tender, about 2 hours. Remove ribs to a serving dish, reserving sauce in the pot.
• Set Dutch oven high heat and boil sauce until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon reduced sauce over ribs.

BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Pat ribs dry and season with salt and pepper. In a dutch oven or heavy bottomed oven safe stock pot, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Brown ribs in batches transferring to plate or large bowl.
• Add onions to pot, and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden. Add Garlic and cook for another minute. Add wine, tomatoes, broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary and salt. Bring to a boil. Add ribs, including any juices that accumulated in bowl or on plate and simmer, covered for 30 minutes.
• Add Carrots, celery, and remaining spices, stirring and pushing down to make sure they are covered in liquid. Place in a preheated 325 degree oven for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until meat is tender. Remove meat and veggies from pot with a slotted spoon. Reduce braising liquid, if necessary. Return meat and vegetables to liquid and simmer until heated through.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Season each short rib generously with salt. Coat a pot large enough to accommodate all the meat and vegetables with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Add the short ribs to the pan and brown very well, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook in batches, if necessary.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• While the short ribs are browning, puree all the vegetables and garlic in the food processor until it forms a coarse paste. When the short ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Drain the fat, coat the bottom of same pan with fresh oil and add the pureed vegetables. Season the vegetables generously with salt and brown until they are very dark and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Scrape the crud again and add the tomato paste. Brown the tomato paste for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat if things start to burn. Reduce the mixture by half.
• Return the short ribs to the pan and add 2 cups water or until the water has just about covered the meat. Add the thyme bundle and bay leaves. Cover the pan and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Check periodically during the cooking process and add more water, if needed. Turn the ribs over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When done the meat should be very tender but not falling apart. Serve with the braising liquid.

BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a roasting pan over high heat with the oil. Sprinkle the ribs with salt and pepper. Add the ribs to the pan, then reduce the heat to medium. Sear on both the top and bottom of the meat, 2 to 3 minutes per side, reserving the pan drippings. After searing the ribs, add the stock, mirepoix, tomato paste, merlot, garlic and the reserved pan drippings to the pan. Tightly cover and cook in the oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and check the ribs, which should be fork tender. If need be, continue cooking to achieve desired tenderness. Next remove the ribs and reserve the liquid to create sauce.
• Pour the reserved cooking liquid through a strainer, then discard the remaining vegetables. In a saucepan, blend the herbs and liquid over medium-high heat. Reduce the liquid by three-quarters, yielding 3 cups of sauce. Pass the reduced sauce through a strainer, then set aside and keep warm.
• For the potatoes: In a large pot, bring 1 gallon of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until softened, 15 to 18 minutes, then drain. Pass the potatoes and butter through a food mill or ricer into a bowl. Next add the salt and pepper, and then blend with a whisk. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
• To serve, place the mashed potatoes in the center of the plate, top with a short rib, and finish with the warm sauce. Repeat for the remaining short ribs.

BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH A BORDELAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat large saute pan until smokey hot. Season both sides of ribs with salt and pepper, I use fresh ground pepper and sea salt. In 1 tbsp of olive oil, sear ribs on both sides for 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and place in a large casserole dish. On medium heat, saute all vegetables, thyme and peppercorns for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir until well combined, no lumps. Deglaze with red wine and let reduce for 5 minutes. Add beef stock and bring to a boil. Pour all sauce over the ribs, cover and braise in the oven at 325 for 3 hours.
• When finished, remove ribs and keep warm. Strain the vegetables from the sauce, reserving 3/4 cup, and return to the stove on medium high heat. Combine cold water and flour in equal parts, whisk into reserved sauce, then whisk this into the remaining sauce to slightly thicken. When done, plate the ribs and ladle sauce onto the ribs. I served this with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed baby carrots.

BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS IN PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare short ribs: • Pat beef dry. Heat olive oil in a wide (12 inches in diameter), 5-quart heavy oven-safe skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Then brown beef on all sides, leaving space between ribs for turning with tongs, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Do not discard oil and leavings. • Put rack in middle position in oven and preheat to 325°F. Make sauce: In same skillet, over moderately high heat, re-heat the oil and leavings. Add fennel, thyme and garlic and sauté. Add onions, carrots, and celery to skillet. Over moderately high heat, sauté until onions start to soften, about 15 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes, mustard, and parsley. Season with remaining salt and pepper and simmer on high heat for 1minute. Add port wine to simmering mixture (glazing pan) and loosen all bits and leavings. Simmer until alcohol is reduced. Add chicken broth and bay leaf; simmer until sauce appears thick and rich. Transfer short ribs and all juices to the mixture in the skillet, placing them bone side up. Ribs should be spaced evenly without touching. Cover and place in heated oven and braise until meat is tender and falling off bone, about 2 hours. Let cool slightly. When ribs are cool enough to handle, remove bay leaf and any excess fat. Transfer beef, reserving liquid, to bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Make sauce: Put some of the solids aside, before straining, to use as a garnish. Strain cooking liquid through fine-mesh sieve and into medium saucepan, pressing on solids. Discard solids and skim fat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons flour and bring to a boil. Continue cooking until reduced to about 2 1/2 cups, about 5 minutes. To serve, place garnish onto plate, top with mash potatoes, lay one rib against the potato bed and spoon braising liquid over meat and finish with horseradish.
