BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 bone-in short ribs (about 5 3/4 pounds)
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 carrots, peeled, cut in 1/2 lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 cups tomato paste
2 to 3 cups hearty red wine
2 cups water
1 bunch fresh thyme, tied with kitchen string
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Season each short rib generously with salt. Coat a pot large enough to accommodate all the meat and vegetables with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Add the short ribs to the pan and brown very well, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook in batches, if necessary.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • While the short ribs are browning, puree all the vegetables and garlic in the food processor until it forms a coarse paste. When the short ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Drain the fat, coat the bottom of same pan with fresh oil and add the pureed vegetables. Season the vegetables generously with salt and brown until they are very dark and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Scrape the crud again and add the tomato paste. Brown the tomato paste for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat if things start to burn. Reduce the mixture by half.
  • Return the short ribs to the pan and add 2 cups water or until the water has just about covered the meat. Add the thyme bundle and bay leaves. Cover the pan and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Check periodically during the cooking process and add more water, if needed. Turn the ribs over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When done the meat should be very tender but not falling apart. Serve with the braising liquid.

Categories     Stew

Time 2h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 1/2 lbs boneless beef short ribs, trimmed of excess fat or 7 lbs bone-in beef short ribs, bones removed and trimmed of excess fat and gristle
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups thinly sliced onions (2 large onions)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
6 medium garlic cloves, peeled
1 cup Guinness stout
1 cup beef broth
4 large carrots, peeled and cut crosswise in 2-inch pieces
1/3 cup pitted prunes, cut in half
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon gelatin powder

Steps:

  • Place oven rack in upper-middle position and preheat to 300°F.
  • Pat beef dry with paper towels. Stir together salt and pepper and sprinkle over beef. Heat 1 tbsp oil in Dutch oven until smoking. Add half of beef and cook without moving, 4-6 minutes, until well browned. Turn beef over and cook second side until well browned, another 4-6 minutes. If fat begins to smoke, reduce heat. Transfer beef to medium bowl. Repeat with remaining oil and beef.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add onion, and cook, stirring often, until softened and barely browned, 12-15 minutes. (If onions darken too quickly, add 1-2 tbsp water to pan.).
  • Add tomato paste and stir constantly until it browns on sides and bottom of pan, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Turn heat up to medium-high, add Guinness, and simmer, scraping up fond from sides and bottom. Add beef broth, carrots, prunes, thyme, and bay leaf. Add beef and any juices in the bowl. Cover and bring to a simmer. Transfer to oven and cook 2 to 2½ hours, turning meat twice with tongs during cooking. When done, a fork will slip easily in and out of meat.
  • Place water in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer meat and carrots to serving platter; tent with foil. Strain cooking liquid through a fine strainer into a fat separator. Press on solids to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard solids. Allow to settle, then strain off fat. Return liquid to Dutch oven and reduce to 1 cup over medium heat, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in bloomed gelatin; season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over meat and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality short ribs: Look for short ribs that are well-marbled and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid short ribs that are too fatty or bony.
  • Brown the short ribs before braising: Browning the short ribs gives them a nice caramelized flavor and helps to develop their natural juices. To brown the short ribs, heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides.
  • Use a good quality braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the short ribs their flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. A good braising liquid will typically include some combination of broth, wine, and vegetables.
  • Braise the short ribs for a long time: Short ribs need to be cooked for a long time in order to become tender. The ideal cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the short ribs, but a good rule of thumb is to braise them for at least 2 hours.
  • Skim the fat from the braising liquid: After the short ribs are done braising, you may notice a layer of fat on the surface of the braising liquid. This fat can be skimmed off and discarded using a spoon or a fat separator.

Conclusion:

Prune and almond braised short ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The short ribs are braised in a flavorful liquid made with prunes, almonds, and red wine, and they are served with a creamy polenta. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a great way to use up leftover prunes and almonds.
