Slow Cooked Short Ribs With Gremolata Recipes

Steps:

• Season short ribs generously with salt and pepper; place in a large roasting pan and chill, uncovered, 12 hours.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Toast breadcrumbs on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing halfway through, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
• Add 1 cup water to roasting pan. Cover pan with foil and cook until meat is tender, 2 1/2-3 hours. Uncover pan and increase oven temperature to 400°F. Roast until ribs are browned on top, 25-30 minutes longer.
• When short ribs are almost done, mix garlic, parsley, horseradish, lemon zest and juice, breadcrumbs, and 2 tablespoons oil in a small bowl; season gremolata with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook lemons, cut side down, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Top short ribs with gremolata and serve with seared lemons.

Steps:

• Planning tip:
• With its various elements, this dish lends itself well to team cooking. Seasoning the meat ahead, making the gremolata, browning the ribs, and deglazing the pan are separate steps that allow everyone to take turns. But if you'd prefer to work ahead, the short ribs will taste just as good a day later. Either way, you're golden.
• Arrange ribs in single layer in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in small bowl; sprinkle all over ribs. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before continuing.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy wide ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add ribs to pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch, adding more oil to pot by tablespoonfuls as needed. Transfer ribs to large bowl. Pour off drippings from pot; discard. Add wine to pot and bring to simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Return ribs and any accumulated juices to pot; bring to boil. Cover; transfer to oven and braise until meat is very tender and almost falling off bones, about 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled.
• Bring to simmer before continuing. Using slotted spoon, transfer ribs to large bowl; cover tightly to keep warm. Skim any fat from top of braising liquid. Boil liquid until reduced to 2 generous cups, about 20 minutes. Mix 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons flour with fork in small bowl until well blended. Whisk butter mixture into reduced braising liquid. Whisk over medium-high heat until sauce thickens very slightly, about 2 minutes.
• Divide Gorgonzola Polenta among plates. Top with ribs and sauce. Sprinkle with Mixed-Herb Gremolata and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook the brisket: Tie the circumference of the brisket with butcher's twine. In a large Dutch oven or other wide heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, sprinkle both sides of the brisket with salt and pepper. Use metal tongs to add the meat to the pot. If the oil is hot enough, the meat won't stick. Cook, undisturbed, on its first side, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn on the other side and brown, 3 to 5 additional minutes. Remove the meat from the pot and place it on a baking sheet.
• Cook the vegetables: Lower the heat to medium. In the same pot add the shallots, garlic and carrots and sprinkle them with another pinch of salt. Brown for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar and vinegar and simmer over very low heat until the liquid reduces and starts to coat the carrots, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the vegetables and cooking liquid into a bowl.
• Cook the meat: Return the brisket to the pot and add the beef stock. Bring the stock to a gentle simmer. Cover, then place the pot in the center of the oven and cook for 1 hour. Remove the pot from the oven and add the vegetables and their liquid back in. Return the pot to the oven, uncovered, and cook until the meat is tender when pierced with a fork, an additional 1 to 2 hours. (If the meat looks dry or begins to get overly browned, cover the pot with the lid or a layer of aluminum foil for the remaining oven time.)
• Make the gremolata: In a small skillet, toast the coriander seeds in 1 teaspoon olive oil until lightly colored and fragrant. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the parsley, garlic, lemon zest and juice and a generous pinch of salt. Add the coriander seeds warm, straight from the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, then stir and set aside.
• Finish: Remove the pot from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, blend half the cooking liquid and half of the remaining vegetables in a blender until smooth, then pour back into the pot. Whisk in the mayonnaise and mustard. Taste for seasoning. Slice the meat against the grain. (It should be fork-tender without being dry.) Transfer the meat and the remaining vegetables to a serving platter Pour the sauce over the meat. Serve with the gremolata.

Steps:

• For the ribs: Cut ribs into smaller pieces, roughly square, so each piece includes a bone. Trim excess fat if necessary. Season generously with salt and pepper and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, or overnight. Arrange ribs bone-side down in roasting pan and roast at 475 degrees until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, saute onions in olive oil in large skillet over medium heat until lightly colored, 6 to 7 minutes. Add leeks and carrot and cook until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, thyme, parsley and bay leaves and saute 2 minutes more. Spread vegetables in roasting pan large enough to hold ribs. Arrange ribs on top of vegetables, bone-side up. Add wine and enough hot stock to barely cover ribs. Cover pan tightly with foil and place in oven. When braise begins to simmer, after about 20 minutes, loosen foil and reduce heat to 350 degrees. Begin to test for doneness after 1 1/2 hours. A skewer or paring knife inserted into meat should encounter no resistance, and meat should be nearly falling from bone. When they are tender, uncover ribs and turn them again so that bone side is down. Pour off and reserve braising juices. Raise heat to 450 degrees and return ribs to oven for a final browning. When they are beautifully glazed, after about 10 minutes, remove from oven. Strain braising liquid into bowl, pressing down on solids to extract juices. Allow liquid to settle, then spoon out grease. Pour liquid back over ribs and reheat if serving immediately, or cool, refrigerate and serve next day with Gremolata. For the gremolata: Just before serving, mix parsley, zest and garlic and scatter over short ribs. (These ingredients should be prepared at the last minute.) This recipe yields 6 servings.

Steps:

• Add olive oil to cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Generously salt and pepper short ribs and sear in pan.
• Add ribs and the remaining 'rib' ingredients to a slow cooker. Make sure ribs are nestled down into the liquid. Cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours. When ribs are cooked and falling off the bone, remove from slow cooker and let rest.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stretch and fit pizza dough into a baking sheet. Brush with drippings from the slow cooker and season with oregano. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Using the same cast iron skillet, brown mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Remove pre-cooked pizza crust from oven and spread with laughing cow cheese. Layer mushrooms, onions (from slow cooker) and shredded short ribs on flatbread until completely covered, keeping ½ inch border on all sides. Top with parmesan cheese. Bake another 10 minutes, until cheese has melted.
• While your flatbread is baking, finely chop all gremolata ingredients together and set aside. Top flatbread with gremolata and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle ribs with 1/2 tsp of the salt and all the pepper. In a 4 to 5 quart ovenproof pot, brown ribs on all sides in hot oil over medium high heat. Set ribs aside; discard all but 1 TB drippings from pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add carrots and garlic to pot; cook and stir about 10 minutes or until carrots are just tender.
• Return the ribs to the pot. Add broth, wine, thyme, bay leaf and remaining 1/2 tsp of salt. Bring to boiling; remove from heat. Over pot; transfer to oven. Bake for 2 hours or until meat is very tender, adding frozen onions during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Transfer ribs to a large, deep serving platter; cover and keep warm. Skim fat from cooking liquid; discard bay leaf and any bones that have fallen off ribs. If cooking liquid is too thin to serve as a sauce, bring to boiling and cook uncovered for 5 minutes to reduce slightly to about 2 1/2 cups. Whisk in mustard and horseradish. Pour sauce over ribs.
• To make orange gremolata combine two tablespoons snipped fresh italian parsley; 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 tsp finely shredded orange peel. Top the ribs with the orange gremolata.
