Pot-au-feu, a classic French beef stew, is a hearty and flavorful dish that showcases the rich taste of beef short ribs braised in a savory broth. This traditional recipe is typically made with a variety of vegetables like carrots, parsnips, turnips, and leeks, and infused with aromatic herbs such as thyme, bay leaves, and parsley.

POT AU FEU, WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE



Pot au Feu, With Horseradish Sauce image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 to 4 lean beef flanken or 2 1/2- to 3-pound boneless brisket
6 carrots, peeled
2 leeks, well scrubbed
2 stalks celery
2 onions, each stuck with three cloves
6 peppercorns
8 cups stock (beef, chicken or a combination) or water, approximately
1 2 1/2-pound chicken cut in half
1 tablespoon dried, imported mushrooms soaked in 1 cup boiling water
3 parsnips, peeled
1 pound new potatoes
4 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh horseradish
1 1/2 cups sour cream
Pinch sugar
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Combine beef, two of the carrots, the leeks, celery, onions and peppercorns in a large kettle. Cover with stock or water. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for about five minutes, carefully skimming all the froth and scum that accumulate on the surface. Lower heat, partially cover and simmer gently for about one-and-a-half hours.
  • Season the broth with salt to taste.
  • Add the chicken, mushrooms with their liquid, parsnips and remaining carrots. Add more stock or water if necessary. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for five minutes, skimming any scum that accumulates on the surface.
  • Lower heat, partially cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, until the chicken is done (the juices will run clear when the thigh is pricked with a fork). The beef should also be tender by this time.
  • Once the chicken is simmering, boil the potatoes in a separate pan in salted water until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain, cover and keep warm.
  • Prepare the horseradish sauce. Combine four tablespoons of the horseradish with the sour cream. Add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Cover and set aside.
  • Remove the chicken and the beef from the kettle, carefully removing any bits of vegetable that cling to them. Cut them into manageable serving pieces and arrange them in a large, deep platter. Cut the carrots and parsnips into two-inch lengths and arrange them in the serving dish along with the boiled potatoes. Cover and keep warm.
  • Strain the broth through a fine sieve and skim off as much of that as possible. Moisten the meats and the vegetables with a little of the hot broth.
  • Serve the broth in cups as a first course, garnished with the parsley mixed with remaining half tablespoon of horseradish. The meats and vegetables should follow as a separate course with the sour-cream horseradish sauce served on the side.

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT6h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 medium celery ribs, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
2 tablespoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons coarsely cracked black peppercorns
3 (3-inch) strips orange zest (removed from orange with a vegetable peeler)
2 (750 ml) bottles hearty red wine, such as Zinfandel
8 (1-pound each) meaty single-rib portions beef short ribs, sawed crosswise in half by the butcher
2 quarts veal stock
1 1/2 cups pitted Nicoise olives
4 anchovy fillets, chopped
6 medium (1 1/2 pounds) Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed
3 tablespoons fine sea salt, plus more to taste
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup peeled, grated fresh horseradish
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large nonreactive pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, rosemary, thyme, peppercorns and orange zest. Add the wine and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool the marinade completely. Place the short ribs in a large nonreactive bowl and add the cooled marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least overnight, preferably 24 hours.
  • Strain the marinade into a large nonreactive pot and discard the solids. Bring the marinade to a boil over high heat. Boil until reduced by one-fourth, 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the short ribs in a large, flameproof nonreactive casserole (such as enameled cast iron). Add the reduced marinade and the veal stock. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and bake until the beef is very tender and pulling from the bones, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Transfer the beef to a platter and cool. Discard the bones, trim away any excess fat, and return the beef to the casserole.
  • Meanwhile, skim off and discard the fat on the surface of the cooking liquid. Strain the sauce into a large nonreactive pot and bring to a boil over medium heat-high. Add the olives and anchovies. Cook, skimming often, until the sauce reduces and is thick enough to coat a wooden spoon, about 30 minutes. Pour the sauce over the short ribs. (The short ribs can be prepared up to 1 day in advance, cooled, covered, and refrigerated.) Assembly: Bring the short ribs and sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the short ribs are heated through, about 10 minutes. Spoon a portion of the potato pure onto the centers of 8 warmed dinner plates, and top each with the short ribs. Spoon the sauce around the potatoes.
  • Horseradish Potato Puree: Place the potatoes in a large pot, add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the 3 tablespoons of salt and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Drain and rinse under cold water until easy to handle. Peel the warm potatoes. Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Beat in the butter, olive oil, horseradish, and optional cheese. Season with salt and pepper. (The potato pure can be made about 20 minutes ahead, placed in a heatproof bowl, loosely covered, and kept warm over a pot of simmering water.

Steps:

  • For brine:
  • Bring first 5 ingredients and 8 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat; let cool to room temperature. Place brisket and short ribs in a large baking dish. Pour brine over to cover completely. Cover and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight. Remove meat; rinse and set aside.
  • For bouquet garni, meats, and vegetables:
  • Place first 6 ingredients in center of a triple layer of cheesecloth. Gather up edges; tie with kitchen twine to form a bundle for bouquet garni. Wrap marrow bones in cheesecloth; tie into a bundle with twine. If desired, tie oxtails with twine around circumference to keep meat from falling off bones.

Add sausage to pot; continue simmering until sausage is cooked through and remaining meats are tender, about 30 minutes longer. Transfer sausage, brisket, oxtails, and marrow bones to dish with short ribs.
  • Place a large strainer over another large pot; strain broth, discarding remaining meats, bones, and other solids in strainer. (You should have about 10 cups broth.) Return broth to a boil; add rutabagas, cabbage, potatoes, and 2" pieces of carrots. Simmer until vegetables are tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes.
  • For sauces and garnishes:
  • Mix first 5 ingredients in a small bowl to make salsa verde. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. Stir crème fraîche and horseradish in another small bowl; season with salt.
  • Transfer vegetables to a platter. Thinly slice brisket against the grain; cut sausage into 2" pieces. Return meats to baking dish.
  • Season broth in pot to taste with salt and pepper; divide among bowls. (Reserve broth from meats for another use.) Serve meats and vegetables with salsa verde, horseradish crème fraîche, and both mustards in small bowls alongside. Serve with toasted country bread.

CURRY BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE



Curry Beef Short Ribs With Horseradish Sauce image

This is one of my main stand ins during winter months when I crave slow cooked flavors of beef. Horseradish and hint of curry may sound strange, but these two flavors go extremely well together. This recipe is not a beef curry recipe. Instead, a small amount of curry is used as a backdrop flavoring only....just a hint of curry and not meant as a curry dish. I love this simple rustic dish. It is a bit Asian and mostly Western inspired. Do not use Asian/Korean style thin beef short ribs used mainly for quick grilling. Although other cuts of beef will work (cubed), beef short ribs is best for this recipe. This recipe will work really well in crock pot too.

BIG BROWN BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH HORSERADISH



Big Brown Braised Short Ribs with Horseradish image

Categories     Sauce     Side     Horseradish     Boil

Yield serves: 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 to 8 bone-in short ribs
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil
2 onions, coarsely chopped
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
2 celery ribs, coarsely chopped
6 to 8 cremini mushrooms, trimmed, cleaned, and coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 cups tomato paste
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
2 cups dry red wine
4 bay leaves
1 thyme bundle, tied with butcher's twine
1 bunch of fresh chives, minced
2 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Season the ribs generously with salt. Coat a large wide pan with olive oil and bring to high heat. Add the ribs to the pan and brown very well on all sides-this is an EXTREMELY important step in the development of big brown flavors. It may take up to 20 minutes-don't rush it!
  • While the ribs are browning, put the onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor and purée to a coarse paste; set aside.
  • When the ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Ditch the fat, add a bit of fresh olive oil, and add the puréed veggies to the pan. Season generously with salt and cook over medium-high heat until the veggies are very brown and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, 8 to 10 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Don't rush this step.
  • Add the tomato paste and prepared horseradish and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the wine, bring it to a boil (BTB), and stir frequently to scrape the crud from the bottom of the pan (this is the big-money flavor). Continue cooking until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Return the ribs to the pan and add enough water to barely cover the meat. Toss in the bay leaves and thyme bundle, cover the pan with aluminum foil, and cook in the oven for 2 1/2 hours. Check the ribs every 45 minutes to make sure they are still covered in liquid; if the liquid has reduced too much, add more water. Turn the ribs after about 1 hour and continue cooking.
  • Remove the foil during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When the meat is done it should be very tender but not falling apart. To serve, remove the bay leaves and thyme bundle and spoon the sauce over the ribs and sprinkle with the chives and freshly grated horseradish for an extra kick.

Tips:

  • To make the beef short ribs extra tender, braise them low and slow for at least 2 hours.
  • For a richer flavor, use bone-in beef short ribs.
  • Add vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions to the pot for a more flavorful broth.
  • Serve the pot au feu with a side of horseradish sauce, Dijon mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
  • Leftover pot au feu can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Pot au feu is a classic French dish that is perfect for a hearty and comforting meal. The beef short ribs are braised in a flavorful broth until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. The horseradish sauce adds a spicy kick that perfectly complements the beef. This dish is sure to become a favorite in your home.
