Indulge in the culinary delight of braised beef short ribs, an exquisite dish that combines the richness of fall-off-the-bone short ribs with a medley of root vegetables. Experience the symphony of flavors as the short ribs, slow-cooked in a flavorful broth, become meltingly tender, complemented by the earthy sweetness of roasted carrots, parsnips, and celery root. This recipe promises an unforgettable dining experience, perfect for a special occasion or a cozy family dinner.

The preparation begins with searing the short ribs to develop a deep, caramelized crust, locking in their natural juices. Then, they are braised in a flavorful broth infused with red wine, aromatic vegetables, and herbs. As the short ribs simmer, their collagen breaks down, resulting in tender, succulent meat that practically falls off the bone.

While the short ribs braise, the root vegetables take center stage. Roasted to perfection, they caramelize and develop a delightful sweetness that balances the richness of the beef.

Once the short ribs and vegetables are cooked to perfection, they are elegantly arranged on a serving platter, ready to tantalize your taste buds. The result is a dish that is both visually stunning and incredibly flavorful, leaving you and your dinner companions craving for more.

In addition to the main recipe, the article also includes two additional recipes that complement the braised beef short ribs perfectly:

**Roasted Root Vegetable Ragout:** This simple yet flavorful side dish features a medley of roasted root vegetables, including carrots, parsnips, and celery root. The vegetables are tossed in olive oil, seasoned with herbs, and roasted until tender and slightly caramelized. The ragout adds a vibrant pop of color and a delightful sweetness to the braised beef short ribs.

**Horseradish Cream:** This creamy and tangy sauce is the perfect accompaniment to the richness of the braised beef short ribs. Made with fresh horseradish, sour cream, and Dijon mustard, the sauce adds a delightful kick of spice that cuts through the fattiness of the beef.

Together, these three recipes create a complete and satisfying meal that is sure to impress your family and friends.

BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS



Braised Beef Short Ribs image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup grapeseed oil
4 pounds beef short ribs (1-inch thick, 3 bone racks)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 cups beef stock
2 cups mirepoix, small dice carrots, celery and onions
1 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup merlot or other red wine
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons fresh parsley and thyme leaves, minced
3 pounds peeled potatoes, medium dice
8 ounces unsalted butter
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper

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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 lbs. beef rib bones or short ribs, washed
2 medium onions, peeled, roughly chopped
5 cloves garlic, peeled, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon sweet butter
3 medium Yukon potatoes, peeled, roughly chopped
6 brown mushrooms, washed, sliced
3 large carrots, peeled, cut into thick rounds
2 celery stalks, cut into one-inch lengths
3 broccoli crowns, washed, the florets cut apart
10 Brussels sprouts, trimmed, quartered
1 cup Italian parsley, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
4 cups water

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or high-sided frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Brown the ribs on all sides, then remove, and discard the fat.
  • Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan and brown 1 onion and 2 garlic cloves. Deglaze the pan with the water, add back the ribs, cover, and put into a 400 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove the pan, turn over the ribs, and put back in the oven for another hour.
  • Check the ribs. The meat should be tender and almost falling off the bone. If you're using short ribs, you may need to increase the cooking time another hour and you may have to add another cup of liquid.
  • Put the ribs into one container. Strain out the onions and garlic and discard. Put the braising liquid into a second container and refrigerate.
  • The next day, peel the thick layer of fat off the braising liquid and discard. In the same pan you used the day before, heat the olive oil and butter.

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.

Provided by Alison Roman

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.

BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS



Braised Beef Short Ribs image

The signature dish at Bouchée is similar to boeuf bourguignon except it uses short ribs, which create a more elegant presentation for individual servings. The addition of vinegar offsets their robust meatiness. Any remaining sauce would be great served over egg noodles.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

For short ribs
4 (8-ounce) pieces bone-in beef short ribs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 medium carrots, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (14-ounce) can whole San Marzano tomatoes in juice, puréed in a blender with juice
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
4 cups brown veal stock or 1/2 cup Demi-Glace Gold concentrate (concentrate requires a dilution ratio of 1:8; 1/2 cup concentrate to 4 cups water)
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 tablespoon Banyuls vinegar or red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
For vegetables
20 pearl onions (5 ounces)
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Banyuls vinegar or red-wine vinegar
2 cups chicken stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth (16 fluid ounces)
4 medium carrots, cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 thick bacon slices (preferably applewood-smoked; 1/4 lb total), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces
8 medium fresh white mushrooms, trimmed and quartered lengthwise

Steps:

  • Braise short ribs:
  • Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Pat beef dry. Heat oil in a wide (12 inches in diameter) 3- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown beef on all sides, turning with tongs, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Add chopped carrots, onion, and garlic to oil in pot and cook over moderate heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup puréed tomatoes (reserve remainder for another use) and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Add wine and boil, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, about 8 minutes.
  • Add veal stock, thyme, bay leaf, vinegars, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to sauce, and bring to a simmer. Skim fat from surface, then add beef along with any juices accumulated on plate and cover pot with a tight-fitting lid. Transfer to oven and braise until beef is very tender, 4 to 5 hours.
  • Cook vegetables while beef braises:
  • Blanch pearl onions in a wide 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan of boiling water 1 minute, then drain in a sieve. When just cool enough to handle, peel onions with a paring knife, trimming root end just enough to leave onions intact.
  • Heat butter in dried saucepan over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook onions, stirring occasionally, until brown spots appear, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar, then add chicken stock and carrots and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover and boil, if necessary, until liquid glazes vegetables.
  • While vegetables are simmering, cook bacon in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until mushrooms are tender and bacon is browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to vegetables in saucepan.
  • Assemble dish:
  • Transfer a short rib to each of 4 soup plates and keep warm in oven. Pour sauce through a medium-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids, then skim fat from sauce. Boil sauce, if necessary, until thickened and reduced to about 3 cups. Season with salt and pepper. Add about 2 cups sauce to vegetables (reserve remaining sauce for another use), then spoon mixture around short ribs.

BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH ROOT VEGETABLE RAGOûT



Braised Beef Short Ribs with Root Vegetable Ragoût image

Categories     Beef     Meat     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small onion
1 medium carrot
59.15 ml plus 14.79 ml vegetable oil
236.59 ml cup dry red wine
3 thyme sprigs
1 Turkish bay leaf or 1/4 California bay leaf
.89 g cracked black pepper
four .34-Kilogram beef short ribs (sometimes called Flanken)
all-purpose flour for dusting ribs
473.18 ml veal stock
118.30 ml water if necessary
Accompaniment: root vegetable ragout

Steps:

  • Slice enough onion and chop enough carrot to measure 20 g each. In a 1.42- to 1.89-litre saucepan cook onions and carrots in 14.79 ml oil over moderate heat 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened but not browned. Add wine, thyme, bay leaf, and pepper and simmer 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool. In a heavy-duty sealable plastic bag combine ribs and wine mixture. Marinate ribs, chilled, turning them occasionally, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 149°C.
  • Remove ribs from marinade and pat dry. Pour marinade through a sieve into a small saucepan and discard solids. Bring marinade to a boil, skimming froth, and remove pan from heat.
  • Season ribs well with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour. In a heavy ovenproof skillet or flameproof casserole large enough to hold ribs in one layer heat remaining 59.15 ml oil over moderately high heat until it just begins to give off a faint white smoke. Brown ribs, turning them occasionally, and transfer to a plate. Pour off oil from skillet or casserole and add ribs and stock.
  • Pour marinade through a fine sieve into skillet or casserole and bring liquid to a simmer. Cover skillet or casserole with foil or a lid and braise ribs in middle of oven (add water after 3 1/2 hours if most of braising liquid is evaporated) 4 hours, or until meat gives no resistance when pierced with a fork. Pour braising liquid through a sieve into a bowl and skim fat.
  • Serve short ribs with braising liquid and vegetable ragout.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality short ribs: Opt for short ribs that are well-marbled with a good amount of fat. This will ensure that the ribs stay moist and flavorful during the braising process.
  • Brown the ribs before braising: Browning the ribs in a hot pan before braising them adds depth of flavor and color to the dish. Be sure to brown the ribs in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the ribs instead of browning them.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is an important component of the dish, so be sure to use a flavorful liquid that will complement the beef. Some good options include beef broth, red wine, and Guinness stout.
  • Add vegetables and herbs to the braising liquid: Vegetables and herbs will add flavor and complexity to the braising liquid. Common vegetables used in braised short rib dishes include carrots, celery, and onions. Common herbs include thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Braise the ribs for at least 2 hours: Braising the ribs for a long period of time allows the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender. The exact cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of the ribs.
  • Serve the ribs with a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce is a great way to complement the braised short ribs. Some good options include a red wine sauce, a barbecue sauce, or a horseradish sauce.

Conclusion:

Braised beef short ribs are a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your braised short ribs turn out perfect every time.
