Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 lbs beef short ribs (give or take, this doesn't have to be exact)
2 tbsp canola oil
3 medium onions, chopped
3 medium carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 bottle of dry red wine
32 oz beef stock (preferably low-sodium)
a head of garlic, the top sliced off to expose the cloves
a big handful of herbs (parsley, thyme, oregano, rosemary; a few sprigs of each)
1 bay leaf
coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Season the ribs with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Brown the short ribs, taking care not to overcrowd your pan (overcrowding will make your ribs steam rather than sear; do in as many batches as necessary to ensure that each rib has a small amount of space around it). Remove the ribs and set them aside.
  • Add the onions, carrots, and celery to pot and cook them for a few minutes, stirring them occasionally, until the onions are soft. Scrape the bottom to release any browned bits from searing the meat.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and add the tomato paste. Str it well and cook a few minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Return the short ribs and any accumulated juices to the pot. Pour in the wine and beef stock (you can add a small amount first then scrape up any remaining bits stuck to the bottom of the pot, then add the rest). Add all the herbs to pot along with the garlic. Bring it to a boil, cover, and transfer it to the oven.
  • Cook until the short ribs are tender, about 3 hours (they're ready when they fall apart when you test them). Transfer the short ribs to a platter or a large serving bowl, and tent them with foil.
  • Strain the sauce into a gravy strainer and remove the fat from surface. Place the gravy into a saucepan, bring it to a boil and keep it at a strong simmer until it's reduced by 1/3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the ribs over mashed potatoes or creamy polenta and top with gravy. If you're watching your carb intake, mashed cauliflower is also delicious.

RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 pounds very meaty bone-in beef short ribs, cut into 2-inch chunks
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts (3 leeks)
3 cups chopped celery (5 to 6 ribs)
2 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
2 cups chopped unpeeled carrots (6 carrots)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (5 cloves)
1 (750-milliliter) bottle Burgundy, Cotes du Rhone, Chianti, or other dry red wine
4 cups beef stock, preferably homemade or College Inn
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes, such as San Marzano
1 (11.2-ounce) bottle Guinness draught stout
6 sprigs fresh thyme, tied with kitchen string
Toasted baguette, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the short ribs on a sheet pan, brush the tops with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Roast for 20 minutes and remove from the oven. Reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large (12-inch) Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, over medium heat. Add the leeks, celery, onions, and carrots and cook over medium to medium-high heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the liquid is reduced. Add the stock, tomatoes, Guinness, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
  • Place the ribs in the pot, along with the juices and seasonings from the sheet pan. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook in the oven for one hour. Uncover and cook for one more hour, until the meat is very tender.
  • Remove the short ribs to a plate with a slotted spoon and discard the thyme bundle and any bones that have separated from the meat. Simmer the sauce on the stove for 20 minutes, until reduced. Skim some of the fat off the top and discard. Return the ribs to the pot, heat for 5 minutes, and taste for seasonings. Serve hot in shallow bowls, with a toasted baguette and extra sauce on the side.

GARLIC BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE



Garlic Braised Short Ribs With Red Wine image

If you weren't already sure about how easy and delicious braised short ribs can be, consider this classic and straightforward recipe an excellent gateway. The ultimate hands-off, do-ahead dinner, these are done on the stovetop in a large Dutch oven but can easily be adapted to a slow cooker if that's your thing. When purchasing the ribs, ask for the thickest, meatiest ones available as they tend to shrink quite a bit once braised.

Categories     meat, soups and stews, main course

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 pounds bone-in short ribs, at least 1 1/2 inches thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large heads garlic, halved crosswise
1 medium onion (about 10 ounces), chopped
4 ribs celery (about 8 ounces, chopped
2 medium carrots (about 6 ounces), chopped
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups dry red wine (about half a bottle)
2 cups beef stock or bone broth (use beef bouillon dissolved in water if unavailable; chicken stock will work in a pinch), plus more as needed
4 sprigs thyme
1 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped chives
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 275 degrees. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer browned short ribs to a large plate and continue with remaining ribs.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of remaining fat, leaving the good browned bits behind. Reduce heat to medium, and add garlic, cut side down and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and continue to cook until vegetables are softened but not yet browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato paste has started to caramelize a bit on the bottom and up the edges of the pot, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add red wine and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned or caramelized bits. Let this simmer 2 to 3 minutes, just to take the edge off and reduce a bit. Stir in beef stock along with thyme. Using tongs, return short ribs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, nestling them in there so that they are submerged (if they are just barely covered, nestle them bone side up so that all the meat is submerged, adding more beef stock or water as necessary to cover). Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven.
  • Cook, undisturbed, until short ribs are meltingly tender and falling off the bone (you should be able to shred the meat with a fork), 3½ to 4 hours.
  • Using tongs, remove the ribs from the pot, taking care (for presentation purposes, really) not to let the bone slip out and transfer them to a large plate. (While you could serve the short ribs right out of this pot, the vegetables have all given up their flavor and texture and aren't worth much now, so feel free to strain the sauce for easier eating.) Scatter parsley, chives and lemon zest over the top of the short ribs. Separate the fat from the sauce, season with salt and pepper and serve alongside.

Categories     Onions

Time 4h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large short rib of beef, bone in with excess fat trimmed off
1/4 cup grapeseed oil or 1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons ghee (or clarified butter)
1 large onion, very finely chopped (approximately 1 cup)
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic, more to taste
1 cup ground fresh tomato
1/2 cup red wine
4 cups vegetable stock or 4 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 piece cinnamon bark (approximately 3 inches long)
1/2 teaspoon ground fenugreek, more to taste
1 tablespoon cumin powder, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder, more to taste (preferably Mexican)

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy saucepan with fitted lid, melt the ghee on medium to high heat.
  • Add the cooking oil and the cumin seeds.
  • Let the seeds sizzle for 30 seconds.
  • Smell the cinnamon bark before adding to the pot.
  • If it's very strong, break the bark in ½ and only use half.
  • If it's not strong enough, add ½ bark.
  • Add the onions& sauté until the onions are medium brown in colour.
  • Smell for the cinnamon throughout the cooking process.
  • You should smell a mild cinnamon flavour instead of a strong one.
  • If cinnamon is the only spice you smell, take out the bark and continue cooking the curry.
  • Add the garlic and continue to sauté until garlic is golden brown and onions are a darker brown.
  • The darker you sauté the onions without letting them burn, the richer the onion flavour will be in this dish.
  • Temporarily lower the heat and add the tomatoes and all of the remaining spices.
  • Once you stir the powdered spices in the tomatoes, increase the heat back to medium.
  • Stir regularly and continue cooking the spices until the oil/ghee separates from the tomatoes.
  • This will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • If at any time the onions or tomato spice mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pan or looks like it's about to burn, either lower the heat or add 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee.
  • Do not add water.
  • This is meant to be a rich curry.
  • Stir in the stock and red wine and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low.
  • Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the oil/ghee separates from the stock and rises to the top, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the short ribs and stir well.
  • Bring back to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low.
  • Cover and simmer the short ribs until the meat completely separates from the bone.
  • This will take approximately 4 hours and you will need to stir occasionally.

RED-COOKED BEEF SHORT RIBS



Red-Cooked Beef Short Ribs image

Traditional red-cooked dishes - they take their name from the mahogany color the sauce imparts to the meat - are simple braises of rice wine, light and dark soy sauces, with some sugar and aromatics. The version Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin and Quealy Watson serve at Best Quality Daughter, their restaurant in San Antonio, turbocharges that formula. Dried chiles and Sichuan peppercorns bring fire and tingle, and star anise and cinnamon provide warmth. There's a whisper of orange, a bite of ginger. Tomato paste and doubanjiang, a fermented chile bean paste, offer depth. Do take the time to use some of the braising liquid to serve as the base for the finishing glaze, thick and glossy as demi-glace. It's worth it.

Categories     meat, main course

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola
5 pounds bone-in short ribs, at least 1 1/2 inches thick
1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thick slices
2 cinnamon sticks
8 dried Chinese chiles
4 pieces dried orange peel (or fresh orange peel with no pith, well toasted)
3 tablespoons Sichuan peppercorns, toasted, then crushed or ground (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
2 whole star anise
1 cup Shaoxing rice wine
1 1/2 cups low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup dark soy sauce
1 packed cup light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
3 cups chicken stock
3 cups braising liquid from the ribs
2 medium white onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup doubanjiang
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup Shaoxing rice wine
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thick slices
5 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Bibb lettuce leaves
Thai basil, chopped cilantro and sliced scallions
Sliced cucumbers
Cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare the ribs: Heat oil in a large lidded Dutch oven over medium-high. Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, about 10 minutes per batch. Transfer browned short ribs to a large plate, and continue with remaining ribs.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of remaining fat, leaving the good browned bits behind. Reduce heat to medium. Add ginger, cinnamon, chiles, orange peel, Sichuan peppercorns, black peppercorns and star anise, and stir to get them coated in the fat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ginger has started to soften.
  • Add the rice wine, soy sauces, sugar and molasses, then the chicken stock, and stir to combine. Using tongs, return short ribs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, nestling them into the braising liquid bone-side up, so the meat is submerged. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven.
  • Cook, undisturbed, until short ribs are meltingly tender and falling off the bone (you should be able to shred the meat with a fork), 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
  • Using tongs, remove the ribs from the pot and put them on a warm platter. Wrap tightly with aluminum foil and a couple of dish towels to keep them warm while you make the sauce.
  • Prepare the sauce: Strain 3 cups of the braising liquid from the Dutch oven into another pot, discarding remaining braising liquid and solids. Set it over medium-high heat, and add the onions, tomato paste, doubanjiang, soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, garlic and five-spice powder; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cook, undisturbed, for 15 minutes, until reduced and thickened.
  • Strain the sauce through a colander back into the Dutch oven you used to cook the ribs, and place the pot over medium-high heat. Make a slurry of the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water, then whisk it into the sauce to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. You're looking for something thick and glossy, like a demi-glace.
  • Unwrap the ribs, daub them liberally with the sauce and serve with Bibb lettuce leaves, Thai basil, cilantro, scallions, cucumbers, rice and the remaining sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef short ribs for the best flavor. Look for ribs that are well-marbled and have a good amount of meat on them.
  • Brown the short ribs well before braising them. This will help to develop their flavor and create a rich sauce.
  • Use a good quality red wine for the braising liquid. A full-bodied wine with a lot of flavor, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will work well.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to the braising liquid. This will help to add flavor and depth to the sauce.
  • Be patient when braising the short ribs. The longer they cook, the more tender they will become.

Conclusion:

Beef short ribs are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. When braised in a cinnamon-red wine sauce, they become fall-off-the-bone tender and incredibly flavorful. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy family meal. Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite pasta.
