Red Wine Braised Short Ribs With Cashew Cauliflower Mash Recipe By Tasty

RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH CASHEW CAULIFLOWER MASH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Liberally season the short ribs on all sides with 1 tablespoon of salt and the pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a 5-quart (5 liter) ceramic pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, add 6-7 pieces of short rib at a time to the pot and sear without disturbing for 2-3 minutes, until a golden brown crust forms. Turn the pieces and continue cooking until seared well on all sides. Remove the short ribs from the pan and set aside, adding another tablespoon of avocado oil to the pot if needed, and repeat with the remaining short ribs.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, celery, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften and release moisture.
• Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables, then cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and stir to coat the vegetables, then cook for 2-3 minutes more, until deep red in color. Pour in the wine and stir to release any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Nestle the short ribs on top of the vegetables in the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half, 15-20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C).
• Nestle the garlic between the short ribs, then place the carrots and thyme sprigs on top. Pour in the beef stock.
• Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake for 2½ hours, until the meat is falling off the bone and fork tender.
• While the short ribs are in the oven, make the cauliflower mash: Fill a medium pot with about an inch of water and set a steamer basket inside. Cover and bring the water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower to the basket and steam for 12-15 minutes, until mashable with the back of a fork, but not overcooked.
• Working in batches, transfer the steamed cauliflower to a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Using another bowl that is slightly smaller than the strainer, press the bowl into the cauliflower to press excess liquid from the cauliflower. Repeat with remaining cauliflower. Discard the liquid and set the cauliflower aside.
• Add the cashews to the bowl of a food processor. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until the cashews are completely broken down and can be mashed into a paste between your fingers, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Add the strained cauliflower, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined with the cashew paste.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.
• Serve the braised short ribs and carrots with the cauliflower mash and garnish with parsley.
• Enjoy!

CABERNET-BRAISED SHORT RIBS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the short ribs, all vegetables, herbs and black pepper to taste for the marinade. Add the wine to cover.
• Marinate at least 6 hours in the fridge.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry with a towel or paper towel.
• Strain the veggies from the wine. Reserve both the wine and veggies for later.
• Season the meat with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Coat each side with flour and set aside.
• In a large ovenproof pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
• Preheat the oven to 350F˚(180C˚).
• When the oil begins smoking, carefully slip ribs into the pot and sear until well-browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer ribs to plate.
• In the same pot, sauté the veggies from the marinade until lightly caramelized and browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the wine in the pot, stirring to deglaze. Add tomato paste and stir to dissolve. Bring the liquid to a boil so the alcohol from the wine evaporates.
• Add beef broth and bring it back to a boil. Add the ribs back to your pot. Spoon the liquid over the ribs to coat them.
• Cover the pot and transfer to the middle rack of your oven.
• Bake until meat is tender enough to be pierced easily with fork, about 2½ hours, opening the oven every 30 minutes and carefully skimming the fat from surface.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, or another side of your choice, and garnish with chopped parsley on top.
• Enjoy!
