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.

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.

PORK CHOPS WITH WINE AND GARLIC



Pork Chops with Wine and Garlic image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 bone-in T-bone pork chops, 1 inch thick
16 cloves garlic, peeled
1 1/2 cups red wine
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup beef broth, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Lemony Green Beans, recipe follows, for serving, optional
1 pound thin green beans
2 tablespoons butter
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet over high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops and sear them until they're nice and golden, about 2 minutes per side. (No need to completely cook the chops at this point.) Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium high, then throw in the whole cloves of garlic. Stir them around and cook until they get nice and golden brown, a couple minutes. Pour in the red wine, then add the bay leaf. Stir it around and cook, raising the heat if necessary, until the sauce is reduced and thick, several minutes.
  • Stir in the beef broth (you can add more if it needs the liquid) and add the chops back to the skillet, arranging them so they're swimming in the sauce. Cook the chops in the sauce for a few minutes, then add the balsamic. Shake the skillet to get it to distribute, then cook for a couple more minutes, or until the pork chops are done.
  • Remove the chops from the skillet once more, then let the sauce reduce a little more if needed, until it's very thick and rich and the garlic is soft. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle in a little salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the pork chops on a platter, then pour the whole skillet of sauce (including the garlic) over the top. Serve with Lemony Green Beans if desired.
  • Snap off the stem ends of the green beans or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
  • Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom, so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally so the butter cooks evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony yellow to golden tan to, finally, a toasty brown.
  • Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes so the beans take on a little color. Add the lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.

This is the best recipe for pork chops! We eat this meal with asparagus tossed in olive oil, s&p, lemon juice, and a little bit of garlic, baked in the oven for 10 minutes.

An easy Wine-Braised Pork Loin recipe

Categories     Wine     Pork     Vegetable     Braise     Low Carb     Fall     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch of ground allspice
1 2-pound boned center-cut pork loin roast, rolled, tied
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 red bell peppers, cut lengthwise into strips, halved crosswise
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes with added puree
1 cup canned beef broth
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon dried marjoram, crumbled

Steps:

  • Combine first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Pat pork dry; rub with salt mixture. Cover and chill 6 to 24 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Wipe pork dry. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy Dutch oven or casserole over high heat. Add pork; brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to Dutch oven. Add onions and sauté until very tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and peppers and sauté until peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add wine, tomatoes, broth, bay leaves and marjoram. Add pork, fat side up, and drippings on plate. Bring to boil. Cover; bake until tender, 45 minutes.
  • Transfer pork to platter and let stand 15 minutes. If necessary, boil sauce until reduced to 4 cups. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Place half of sauce in baking dish. Top with pork slices, then remaining sauce. Cover and chill. Rewarm in covered dish in 350°F. oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.) Serve pork with sauce.

Tips:

  • When choosing pork for braising, look for a cut that is well-marbled with fat, such as pork shoulder or pork butt. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
  • Sear the pork over high heat before braising it. This will help to develop a rich, brown crust on the outside of the meat, which will add flavor to the dish.
  • Use a good quality red wine for braising. A dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Add vegetables and herbs to the braising liquid. This will help to add flavor and complexity to the dish. Common vegetables used in braised pork dishes include onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves are also popular additions.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender. This can take several hours, depending on the cut of meat. Be patient and let the pork cook slowly over low heat.
  • Serve the braised pork with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. You can also serve it with a side of vegetables.

Conclusion:

Braised pork with red wine is a classic dish that is both flavorful and comforting. It is a great meal to serve on a cold winter night. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
