DARK BEER BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS (CROCK POT)
Adapted from a recipe by Fabio Viviani. Reducing the quart of beef stock to 1 1/2 cups is not included in prep time and a must for a good depth of flavor. A good stout beer is also a must for this recipe, I use Guinness extra stout. Boneless or bone on ribs can be used for this recipe. I have stated 8 hours for cooking time but that will depend on your crock pot, with mine the bone on ribs were almost done at the 6 hour mark so I turned the warm cycle on and let simmer for 2 more hours, they were perfect.

Steps:
- Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pot with a lid (Dutch oven) over high heat. Brown the ribs on all sides, in batches if necessary. Remove the ribs and pour off all but a couple tablespoons of the rendered fat.
- Return the pot to the stove, lower the heat to medium and saute the garlic and ginger for about 3 minutes. Add the ribs back to the pot. Add the beer and the vinegar. Stir and then cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Pour the hoisin sauce over the ribs, move the pot to the oven, and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Remove ribs and ginger from sauce. Strain fat from the top of the pot so that you're left with just the good stuff. Serve with Creamy Mashed Yukons and Sesame Snow Peas.
- Boil potatoes until fork tender. Heat the butter and half-and-half over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot and mash with a hand masher. Add hot liquid to potatoes and whip with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add chives and mix before serving.
- Rinse the peas and trim off the ends. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oils and heat. Add snow peas and saute until bright green, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and toss.

- Using slotted spoon, transfer ribs to serving bowl. Discard parsley and bay leaves. Spoon fat off top of sauce and pour sauce over ribs. Serve with bread.
Tips:

- If you don't have a crock pot, you can also braise the short ribs in a Dutch oven over low heat for 8-10 hours.
- Be sure to brown the short ribs well before braising them. This will help to develop their flavor and create a rich, caramelized sauce.
- Add plenty of vegetables to the braising liquid. This will help to add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
- Serve the short ribs with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. You can also add a side of roasted vegetables or a green salad.
