Snowy Night Short Rib Stew Recipes

HEARTY SHORT RIB STEW

Steps:

• For the stew: Heat the oil and butter in a Dutch oven over a medium-high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs with salt and pepper, then brown in batches on all sides in the pan, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Add the garlic, onions and carrots to the pan and toss in the drippings. Stir in the tomato paste and allow to cook until it has combined with the vegetables, for 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the beer and beef stock. Add the Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, bay leaves and the browned short ribs. Cover and cook over a low heat until very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Stir in the parsley. Remove the rosemary and bay leaves before serving.
• For the buttered egg noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with the butter and parsley. Serve the stew over the buttered noodles.

WINTER SHORT-RIB STEW

Steps:

• Place a rack in the middle of the oven, and heat oven to 500 degrees.
• Place the short ribs in one layer in a medium roasting pan, and roast for 25 minutes. Turn the pieces, add the garlic, and roast for 15 minutes more.
• Remove the ribs to a tall, narrow stockpot. Spoon the fat from the roasting pan, and pour any juices over the bones.
• Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over medium heat, and add 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour this liquid over the bones.
• Add the tomatoes, 2 cups water, the bay leaf, 2 pieces of orange zest and the lemon zest. Cover the stockpot, and bring to a boil. Uncover, lower the heat, and simmer for 40 minutes.
• Stir in the barley, the string beans and 2 cups water. Cover, and bring to a boil. Uncover, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Occasionally poke the string beans down into the liquid. Add 2 teaspoons salt, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Skim the fat. Add the fennel and the herbs. Bring the pot to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the remaining salt, the lima beans, two strips of orange zest and 2 cups water.
• Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. The meat should be falling off the bones.
• Remove the meat and the bones from the stockpot. Place two pieces of meat (with or without the bones) in each of six bowls, and divide the vegetables and liquid evenly over them.

ULTIMATE BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300˚ F.
• Heat the oil in a large (11- to 12-inch) Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until browned. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with a paper towel and set aside.
• Meanwhile, season the short ribs all over with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Brown half the meat in the Dutch oven over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned on all sides. Transfer the meat to a bowl and brown the second batch. (Don't cook them all in one batch or they won't brown!) Transfer the second batch to the bowl and set aside.
• Off the heat, add the Cognac and 1/3 cup of the wine to the pot, scraping up any browned bits, then simmer over medium heat for one minute. Add the onions and fennel and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
• Stir the tomatoes and tomato paste into the vegetables. Add the remaining 2/3 cup of wine, the beef broth, the seared meat (and juices), 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and bake for 1 1/4 hours, checking occasionally to be sure the liquid is simmering.
• Degrease the stew, if necessary. Stir in the carrots and potatoes, cover and bake for one hour longer, until the vegetables and meat are very tender when tested with a fork. Just before serving, stir in the peas and pancetta, taste for seasonings and serve hot in large, shallow bowls.

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 :).
