Borscht-Braised Beef Short Ribs image

I've never been a big fan of beets, but in certain things, like borscht, I love them. With that simple soup as an inspiration, I thought the flavors would work nicely with the rich, fatty short ribs, and they sure did.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 pound beets, peeled and cut into large pieces
1 cup cubed carrots
½ cup chopped celery
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Generously season short ribs with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat vegetable oil over high heat in a heavy pot. Brown short ribs on all sides until they are dark brown, about 6 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add onions and continue cooking over high heat until onions go from golden to dark brown, about 8 minutes; this will make a richer, darker sauce. Stir flour into the onion mixture; cook for about 1 minute. Pour in broth; add bay leaf, beets, carrots, and celery. Bring pot to a simmer. Place browned short ribs in pot, evenly distributing them among the vegetables.
  • Bake in preheated oven until meat is tender, about 2 hours. Transfer meat and vegetables to a serving platter.
  • Bring sauce to a fast simmer over high heat until it is reduced by half and slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, if needed.
  • Serve in bowls topped with a dollop of sour cream and chopped fresh chives.

This recipe is a bit bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.
