Provided by Stephen David Caldes

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds short ribs
Salt and pepper
Flour
1 large onion (rough chop)
3 garlic cloves (rough chop (you'll be straining the broth))
3-4 fingers ginger (rough chop)
4 or so lemongrass stalks (split and chopped jar red curry paste (Thai Kitchen makes a quite good and very easy to find one))
4 cups (2 pintFeather River Brewing Co. Honeyale
1 pint chicken broth
1 head cauliflower
Curry powder or spice mix of choice
1-2 sweet potatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 can coconut milk
1 lime (zest and juice (Zest the lime before you squeeze it; it's just easier that way))
Flour and butter for your roux (see note below)
1 bunch cilantro (torn)
Quick-Pickled Daikon (recipe follows)

Steps:

  • Season short ribs, dust with flour, and brown on all sides in olive oil in a large Dutch oven. Remove and set aside as you sauté onion, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. Right before the mixture is browned, add red curry paste. Deglaze bottom of Dutch oven with beer. Add chicken broth and stir (get all those brown bits!). Add back the short ribs (and any juice), cover, and let simmer on very low heat-"warm" setting- on stovetop for 1½ to 2 hours. (You can also braise in 225˚ oven for 2 hours, but I like to roast my veggies during this wait time.)
  • Preheat oven to 425°. Cut cauliflower horizontally into about 4 discs, season and lightly coat with olive oil and a curry powder or spice mix of choice, and spread out on a sheet pan. Wash and cube sweet potatos, coat lightly with olive oil, spread out on a second sheet pan. Roast veggies for about 30 minutes while you make the daikon pickles (see below).
  • When the short ribs are done, remove them from the Dutch oven, add coconut milk and lime juice, return to simmer, and then strain the sauce into a pitcher. In the Dutch oven, make a quick roux following advice under the Gravy on page 2Slowly stir in the strained broth, and cook until it's gravy.
  • To serve: Pour some curry gravy into each bowl, then add discs of roasted caulifl ower, short ribs, more curry gravy, then roasted sweet potato and any loose bits of caulifl ower. Garnish with pickled daikon, cilantro leaf, and lime zest. Serve piping hot to drooling guests, off ering extra gravy on the side.

ROASTED SHORT RIBS WITH CAULIFLOWER AND CELERY



Roasted Short Ribs With Cauliflower And Celery image

Richly marbled beef ribs beg for something crisp and refreshing to go alongside. If celery's not your fave, try swapping it for any type of radish, escarole, or a tart apple.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the short ribs:
4 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 (4-inch) English-style bone-in beef short ribs (about 3 pounds)
Freshly ground black pepper
For the cauliflower purée:
1/2 head cauliflower (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup heavy cream
For the salad and assembly:
1/2 cup blanched or skin-on hazelnuts
2 stalks celery, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced on a diagonal; plus 1/4 cup celery leaves
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tablespoon hazelnut oil or olive oil
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Flaky sea salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • For the short ribs:
  • Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 275°F. Slice garlic, sprinkle with salt, and mash to a paste on a cutting board using the side of a chef's knife; place in a small bowl. Mix in rosemary, oil, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes.
  • Season ribs generously with salt and pepper and place in a medium cast-iron skillet. Coat all over with garlic paste and cover skillet tightly with foil. Cook on upper rack in oven, checking for doneness after 1 1/2 hours, until meat is fork-tender and falling off the bone, 2 1/2-3 hours. Remove from oven.
  • For the cauliflower purée:
  • Meanwhile, place cauliflower in a small baking dish. Rub all over with oil; season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and place in oven next to ribs. Bake until cauliflower is very easily pierced with a paring knife, 1 1/2-2 1/2 hours.
  • Transfer hot cauliflower to a blender and add cream. Blend until very smooth; season with salt and pepper. Place in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
  • For the salad and assembly:
  • While the ribs and cauliflower are cooking, scatter hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast on bottom rack, tossing once, until golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Let cool, then rub together in a kitchen towel to remove skins, if using skin-on nuts. Coarsely chop and set aside.
  • Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Uncover ribs and return to oven, placing on top rack. Roast, basting with fat from skillet every couple of minutes, until a deep brown crust develops, 12-15 minutes.
  • Toss celery, celery leaves, parsley, and reserved hazelnuts in a medium bowl to combine. Drizzle with oil and vinegar and toss to coat; season celery salad with salt and pepper.
  • Serve short ribs over cauliflower purée with celery salad on top.

Here's what you need: bone in beef short ribs, kosher salt, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, avocado oil, large white onion, celery stalks, tomato paste, all purpose flour, dry red wine, garlic, small rainbow carrots, fresh thyme, low sodium beef broth, cauliflower, raw cashews, garlic, fresh parsley

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 lb bone in beef short ribs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
1 large white onion, cut into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces
4 celery stalks, cut into 1/2 inch (1 1/4 cm) diagonal pieces
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups dry red wine, such as cabernet sauvignon
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
6 small rainbow carrots, peeled and ends trimmed
10 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cups low sodium beef broth
2 lb cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup raw cashews
1 teaspoon garlic
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Liberally season the short ribs on all sides with 1 tablespoon of salt and the pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a 5-quart (5 liter) ceramic pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, add 6-7 pieces of short rib at a time to the pot and sear without disturbing for 2-3 minutes, until a golden brown crust forms. Turn the pieces and continue cooking until seared well on all sides. Remove the short ribs from the pan and set aside, adding another tablespoon of avocado oil to the pot if needed, and repeat with the remaining short ribs.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, celery, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften and release moisture.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables, then cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and stir to coat the vegetables, then cook for 2-3 minutes more, until deep red in color. Pour in the wine and stir to release any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Nestle the short ribs on top of the vegetables in the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half, 15-20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C).
  • Nestle the garlic between the short ribs, then place the carrots and thyme sprigs on top. Pour in the beef stock.
  • Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake for 2½ hours, until the meat is falling off the bone and fork tender.
  • While the short ribs are in the oven, make the cauliflower mash: Fill a medium pot with about an inch of water and set a steamer basket inside. Cover and bring the water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower to the basket and steam for 12-15 minutes, until mashable with the back of a fork, but not overcooked.
  • Working in batches, transfer the steamed cauliflower to a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Using another bowl that is slightly smaller than the strainer, press the bowl into the cauliflower to press excess liquid from the cauliflower. Repeat with remaining cauliflower. Discard the liquid and set the cauliflower aside.
  • Add the cashews to the bowl of a food processor. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until the cashews are completely broken down and can be mashed into a paste between your fingers, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Add the strained cauliflower, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined with the cashew paste.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.
  • Serve the braised short ribs and carrots with the cauliflower mash and garnish with parsley.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose good quality short ribs. Look for ribs that are well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep them moist during cooking.
  • Brown the short ribs well before braising them. This will help develop their flavor and give the curry a richer color.
  • Use a variety of spices in your curry. This will give it a complex and flavorful taste. Some good options include cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and paprika.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat to your curry. If you like spicy food, add a chopped chili pepper or two to the pot.
  • Simmer the curry for at least an hour. This will allow the flavors to develop and the short ribs to become tender.
  • Serve the curry with rice or naan bread. This will help soak up all of the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

This short rib and cauliflower curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The short ribs are braised in a flavorful curry sauce, and the cauliflower adds a bit of crunch and texture. Serve this curry with rice or naan bread, and you're sure to have a hit on your hands.
