Best 5 Cabernet Braised Short Ribs With Gorgonzola Polenta And Mixed He Recipes

SPICY BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH POLENTA

Steps:

• For the short ribs: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs generously with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot and brown on all sides until golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the mushrooms to the drippings in the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and all the water has cooked out, about 8 minutes. Add half the garlic and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are crisp and golden and the garlic is softened, about 3 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl; set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the carrot, onion, rosemary and remaining garlic to the pot and cook, stirring often and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, until the onions and carrots are softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Stir in the arrabbiata sauce and 2 cups water and return the short ribs to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the meat is fork-tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove the meat from the sauce and transfer to a plate. Set the sauce aside to let the braising liquid and fat separate, about 10 minutes, then skim off and discard the fat. Discard the rosemary sprig, stir in the reserved mushrooms and add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer it spicier, add crushed red pepper as well. Return the short ribs to the sauce and keep warm over low heat.
• For the polenta: Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. While whisking constantly, slowly pour the cornmeal into the hot liquid. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the cornmeal is creamy and no longer grainy, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan and butter.
• Divide the polenta among 6 shallow bowls and top each with a short rib and some sauce. Sprinkle with the parsley.

CABERNET-BRAISED SHORT RIBS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the short ribs, all vegetables, herbs and black pepper to taste for the marinade. Add the wine to cover.
• Marinate at least 6 hours in the fridge.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry with a towel or paper towel.
• Strain the veggies from the wine. Reserve both the wine and veggies for later.
• Season the meat with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Coat each side with flour and set aside.
• In a large ovenproof pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
• Preheat the oven to 350F˚(180C˚).
• When the oil begins smoking, carefully slip ribs into the pot and sear until well-browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer ribs to plate.
• In the same pot, sauté the veggies from the marinade until lightly caramelized and browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the wine in the pot, stirring to deglaze. Add tomato paste and stir to dissolve. Bring the liquid to a boil so the alcohol from the wine evaporates.
• Add beef broth and bring it back to a boil. Add the ribs back to your pot. Spoon the liquid over the ribs to coat them.
• Cover the pot and transfer to the middle rack of your oven.
• Bake until meat is tender enough to be pierced easily with fork, about 2½ hours, opening the oven every 30 minutes and carefully skimming the fat from surface.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, or another side of your choice, and garnish with chopped parsley on top.
• Enjoy!
