Best 3 Berghoff Bourbon Short Ribs Recipes

MAPLE BOURBON BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
• Pat the short ribs dry and season them generously with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a large, oven safe Dutch oven and place on medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the short ribs and sear until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat until all short ribs have been browned.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion to the pan with the short rib drippings. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the bourbon and maple syrup and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze any stuck bits off the bottom surface. Continue to cook until the liquid is reduced by half, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in the broth, thyme, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Place the short ribs down in the sauce until almost completely covered by the liquid. Add more water or broth if needed to cover the ribs.
• Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and transfer the Dutch Oven to the preheated oven. Cook stirring every 45 minutes until the ribs are fall apart tender, approximately 2.5-3 hours. Carefully transfer the ribs to a serving platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for at least 10 minutes.
• While the short ribs are resting make the glaze by combining the maple syrup and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently until the mixture is reduced to a thick glaze, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

(3) Remove from the oven and remove the ribs from the braising liquid; keep ribs warm. (4) Skim off and discard fat from braising liquid and, over high heat, reduce the liquid to 1 to 1 1/2 cups, 35 to 40 minutes. Stir in the barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup of reserved bourbon and mix well. Heat to a boil, remove from heat, and set aside. (5) Brush each rib with olive oil, and grill to heat completely through and brown slightly.

GARLIC BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE

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.
