Orange Braised Beef Short Ribs Stovetop Version Recipes

Steps:

• Pre-heat pressure cooker on BROWN setting.
• Add the olive oil, season the ribs with salt and pepper and sear in batches, until browned on all sides. Once nicely browned, remove them to a side plate and set aside.
• Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the onion, celery, garlic, thyme, and bay leaf and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the wine and deglaze the cooker, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer and reduce until it has almost entirely disappeared.
• Add the orange juice and soy sauce, and return the ribs to the cooker. Lock the lid in place.
• Pressure cook on HIGH for 25 minutes.
• Let the pressure drop naturally and carefully remove the lid.
• Remove the ribs from the cooker and set aside, loosely covered with foil.
• To thicken the sauce, use the BROWN setting on the pressure cooker to simmer the braising liquid until it has thickened and is syrupy. Return ribs to cooker and coat in sauce.
• Serve over rice, spoon a little sauce on top and garnish with chives. The sauce can be strained if you prefer a smoother finish.

Steps:

• Lay beef strips out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Allow to dry in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, rice vinegar, orange juice concentrate, salt and soy sauce. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Add more water at the end if necessary.
• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Toss dried beef in cornstarch to coat. Fry in the hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden brown; set aside. Drain all of the oil from the wok except about 1 tablespoon.
• Add orange zest, ginger and garlic to the remaining oil, and cook briefly until fragrant. Add the soy sauce mixture to the wok, bring to a boil, and cook until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add beef, and heat through, stirring to coat. Serve immediately over steamed rice, and garnish with broccoli.
