KITTENCAL'S OVEN-ROASTED BEEF SHORT RIBS



Kittencal's Oven-Roasted Beef Short Ribs image

This recipe will produce the most tender tasty short ribs,. I use rendered bacon fat for this that I store in my freezer for extra flavor in place of the oil, you may increase the beef broth and wine for more sauce if desired and add in some crushed red pepper flakes for some heat, I most always increase the broth and wine and serve this with hot cooked pasta, the sauce is delicious and don't forget to pass the Parmesan cheese at the table ---and if you find you have lots of sauce left over just freeze it and use it the next time you make this recipe again :)

Time 2h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 -6 lbs short rib of beef
2 cups all-purpose flour (or more or less)
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
oil, as needed for browning sauce
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
2 teaspoons dried thyme, rubbed between fingers to release flavor (or to taste)
2 cups beef broth
1 cup dry red wine
8 ounces small white button mushrooms (optional)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat bacon fat (or oil if using, can use both) in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • In a shallow dish mix together flour, seasoning salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
  • Dredge the short ribs in the flour mixture to coat, shaking off any excess flour on ribs.
  • Brown the ribs in the Dutch oven working in batches until lightly browned on all sides; remove to a plate.
  • Pour off all but about 2-3 tablespooons fat, and add in the onions, chopped garlic and thyme; saute until lightly browned.
  • Add in broth and red wine; bring to a boil, stirring.
  • Return the ribs to the Dutch oven (if possible in a single layer).
  • Add in the fresh small button mushrooms (if using, no need to saute the mushrooms first).
  • Cover with a lid and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the ribs are desired tenderness.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • **NOTE** this is only optional: remove the ribs to a platter to keep warm and drain the cooking liquid through a sieve, then transfer the liquid to a saucepan to simmer and reduce slightly and thicken, scimming any fat that has accumulated on top, or you can just serve the sauce just as is from the Dutch oven.
  • Pour the sauce over the ribs.

SIMPLE BEEF SHORT RIBS



Simple Beef Short Ribs image

The basics of this recipe came from my mom, and it was passed down to her from her mother and Oma. I changed it a little, and you can too. You can braise in basically any liquid you want. The short ribs come out so delicious and tender, and there is not an overwhelming sauce to overpower them.

SHORT RIB TACOS



Short Rib Tacos image

Whenever we go to Houston to visit family, we like to track down cabeza-cow's head, cooked slowly, resulting in extremely tender meat that's excellent in tacos. Cabeza is hard to find in Seattle, so I use short ribs to replicate the texture. I like corn tortillas for these tacos and a quick pico de gallo to add some freshness to the rich, flavorful meat. -Anai Yost, Bothell, Washington

KITTENCAL'S BEEF BRISKET (OR BEEF SHORT RIBS)



Kittencal's Beef Brisket (Or Beef Short Ribs) image

Plan ahead the brisket or ribs will need to marinate in the spice rub for 24 hours or more --- this recipe is for a 5-7 pound beef brisket, if you are making a larger one then double all ingredients --- servings and cooking time are only estimated depending on the size of your brisket --- I use my recipe#232433 for this, you may use you own favorite sauce.

Categories     Meat

Time P1DT3h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (5 -7 lb) beef brisket
3 -4 onions, chopped
2 -3 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
1 (1 1/2 liter) bottle favorite barbecue sauce (you can even use more BBQ sauce if you desire!)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon dry mustard
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper (increase the cayenne if desired to suit heat level) or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (increase the cayenne if desired to suit heat level)

Steps:

  • A day ahead: Grease a large roaster or a roasting pan (I use my large lasagna pan for this).
  • Sprinkle the chopped onions in the bottom of the pan.
  • In a small bowl or cup mix together all rub ingredients.
  • Rinse brisket under cold water, then dry with a paper towel.
  • Rub the brisket lightly with vegetable or Canola oil.
  • Rub the minced garlic and rub spices over both sides of the brisket, then place into the roaster pan/dish (fat-side down).
  • Pour the barbecue sauce over the top of the brisket, do not rub into the meat, as it will disturb the rub spices, just leave the sauce sitting on top of the brisket, some will drizzle over the sides, not to worry!.
  • Cover tightly with foil and place in the fridge.
  • The following morning turn the brisket over to fat side up.
  • Add in the 1 cup water and mix with the sauce in the pan (just mix together the best you can, it does not have to be completely mixed with the BBQ sauce, it will all cook together).
  • With clean hands, rub the sauce all over the top of the brisket.
  • Cover very tighty (if using foil make a couple of slits in the top of the foil to let steam escape) return to the fridge until ready to cook (for at least another 2 hours.
  • Set oven to 325 degrees.
  • Remove from the roaster from fridge (preperably 1 hour before cooking and leave on the counter).
  • Cook for a about 4-5 hours or more depending on the size of your brisket, or until the brisket is tender (check for doneness after about 3 hours cooking, by inserting a fork into the brisket the meat will be done if the fork goes in very easily).
  • Remove and let the brisket sit for 15 minutes before sliceing, then slice against the grain.
  • Spoon any fat that has accumulated on top of the sauce, and serve the sauce on the side.
  • Delicious!

Tips:

  • To ensure tender and flavorful meat, choose high-quality beef brisket or short ribs. Look for pieces with good marbling (thin streaks of fat running through the meat), as this will contribute to the richness and flavor of the dish.
  • If you have time, consider marinating the beef overnight or for at least a few hours before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Slow and low is the key to cooking beef brisket or short ribs. Braising or roasting at a low temperature for an extended period of time allows the meat to break down and become fall-apart tender.
  • Don't be afraid to add vegetables to your beef brisket or short rib dish. Onions, carrots, celery, and garlic are classic additions that add flavor and depth to the dish. You can also experiment with other vegetables, such as potatoes, parsnips, or rutabagas.
  • Red wine, beer, or beef broth are all good choices for braising liquid. Each will add its own unique flavor to the dish. You can also use a combination of liquids.

Conclusion:

Beef brisket and short ribs are both delicious and versatile cuts of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you choose to braise, roast, or smoke your beef, following these tips will help you achieve tender, flavorful results. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give beef brisket or short ribs a try.
