Best 3 Short Rib And Cabbage Soup Recipes

SWEET-AND-SOUR BEEF CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• In large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season ribs with salt and pepper. Brown ribs on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove to plate, keeping all fat in pot, and set aside. To pot, add sliced onion, sprinkle with a little salt, and stir and cook until translucent, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, about 4 minutes. Pour out/drain fat.
• Return browned short ribs to pot and add water, cabbage and allspice berries. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, skimming any foam that surfaces to the top.
• Add broken up stewed tomatoes, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, pepper, and ¼ to ½ teaspoon ground allspice (to taste). Season with a little salt and pepper. Bring back to boil, then lower and simmer until meat has pulled at least ½-inch from the bone, about 30 more minutes. Skim as much surface fat as you can.
• Remove beef short ribs to cutting board. Cut meat off bone and into bite-sized pieces, trimming any fat. Return beef to soup pot.
• Taste soup and adjust for salt and pepper. If broth is too weak, continue simmering until flavors are more concentrated. Let cool and then refrigerate overnight. Remove any hardened fat from surface. Reheat and serve.

CABBAGE AND SPARERIB SOUP

Steps:

• In a spice grinder process caraway seeds, paprika and mustard until fine. Turn into a bowl with brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and the cayenne; fluff with fingertips.
• Dry ribs well with paper towels, and rub both sides with spices and crushed garlic. Place ribs on a small rack or plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Adjust oven rack to lowest position, and heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a sheet pan lightly with vegetable spray. Brush garlic cloves from ribs, place ribs in a sheet pan, and roast until a deep golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Transfer ribs to a 5-quart Dutch oven; pour rendered fat (about 2 tablespoons) from sheet pan into a large heavy skillet, and set aside. Place sheet pan on 2 burners over high heat, add 1 cup water, and stir with a wooden spoon to dislodge browned bits. Pour deglazing liquid and stock into Dutch oven, cover, and bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until ribs are tender, turning occasionally, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove ribs from broth, and cool slightly.
• While ribs simmer, sauté onions and cabbage in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper; stir to combine. Set aside.
• Pull pork off bones, trim off bits of cartilage, and dice meat. Discard bones. Return meat to soup base, add cabbage and onions, and simmer about 15 minutes. Serve, garnished with parsley.
