Tender Braised Beef Short Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the 1/2 cup flour, salt and ground black pepper. Roll the ribs in the seasoned flour.
• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil and brown the ribs well on all sides. Pour in 1 cup boiling water, tomatoes, and garlic. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, adding more water if necessary.
• Place the potatoes, onions, and carrots in the pot. Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until all vegetables are tender. Remove the meat and vegetables to a serving platter.
• In a separate small bowl, dissolve 1 1/2 tablespoons flour and 2 tablespoons water for every one cup liquid remaining in the pot. Add this to the pot and stir well until thickened. Pour over meat and vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat oil in a roasting pan over medium heat.
• Season short ribs with salt and pepper.
• Lightly dredge in flour. Shake off any excess flour.
• Sear all sides of short ribs until golden brown.
• Add carrots, onions and celery to roasting pan and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes.
• Deglaze pan with red wine.
• Add the bay leaves, beef stock and peppercorns.
• Cover roasting pan with aluminum foil and bake until ribs are knife-tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
• While cooking, in a medium bowl, mix together all the mustard, honey, white wine, garlic and basil. This is the glaze that will be used later.
• Once cooked, remove short ribs from liquid and set aside to cool. Cut and trim short ribs to desired size.
• Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.
• Brush short ribs well with the glaze and grill briefly to set the glaze.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a roasting pan over high heat with the oil. Sprinkle the ribs with salt and pepper. Add the ribs to the pan, then reduce the heat to medium. Sear on both the top and bottom of the meat, 2 to 3 minutes per side, reserving the pan drippings. After searing the ribs, add the stock, mirepoix, tomato paste, merlot, garlic and the reserved pan drippings to the pan. Tightly cover and cook in the oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and check the ribs, which should be fork tender. If need be, continue cooking to achieve desired tenderness. Next remove the ribs and reserve the liquid to create sauce.
• Pour the reserved cooking liquid through a strainer, then discard the remaining vegetables. In a saucepan, blend the herbs and liquid over medium-high heat. Reduce the liquid by three-quarters, yielding 3 cups of sauce. Pass the reduced sauce through a strainer, then set aside and keep warm.
• For the potatoes: In a large pot, bring 1 gallon of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until softened, 15 to 18 minutes, then drain. Pass the potatoes and butter through a food mill or ricer into a bowl. Next add the salt and pepper, and then blend with a whisk. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
• To serve, place the mashed potatoes in the center of the plate, top with a short rib, and finish with the warm sauce. Repeat for the remaining short ribs.

Steps:

• First, make the marinade. Mix the spices and 3 tbsp salt in a bowl, then stir in the oil to make a paste. Use a knife to make a deep hole in each short rib, then rub the spice mix all over and into the hole, working the flavour into the meat. Place on a tray, cover and chill overnight.
• The next day, heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Heat the oil in a large, shallow pan, tip in the onions and fry until you start to get a deep, rich colour - about 20 mins. Don't be scared of the colour, this will add amazing savoury sweetness to the dish. Pour in the beer and boil to reduce by half, then add the stock, treacle, thyme and oak chips, if using. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Place the marinated short ribs in your largest roasting tin. Pour over the onion and beer braising liquid, then cover tightly with foil. Transfer to the oven and cook the short ribs for 5 hrs or until really tender.
• Once the ribs are cooked, remove and put on a plate to rest and cool. Strain the braising liquid into a saucepan. Once settled, use a ladle to remove the top layer of fat, then set over a high heat. Simmer the sauce until it becomes rich and glossy, then whisk in the ketchup, mustard and brown sauce.
• To barbecue the ribs, heat your coals until ashen or set a gas barbecue to medium. Cook the ribs until nicely charred and hot all the way through, then baste with the sauce to finish and cook until sticky. To cook them indoors, heat the grill. Set a wire rack over an oven tray and place the ribs on top. Baste well with the sauce and grill, basting with the sauce a few times, until it forms a charred, sticky crust. Set aside to rest before serving with the onion rings and slaw (see Goes well with).

Steps:

• Generously season the short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper; set aside about 15 minutes.
• In a baking pan over medium-high heat, add oil and when hot, add the seasoned meat, fat side down, and brown on all sides including the ends, about 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer the short ribs to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add onions and carrots; sauté for 5 minutes. Halfway through cooking, add clarified butter.
• Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and stir to coat.
• Pour in the wine, stir to deglaze and bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 300ºF/150ºF.
• Add the beef broth, thyme, rosemary, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper; stir well.
• Return the meat to the pan, bone side up, including any accumulated juices. Spoon the sauce over the ribs to prevent them from drying out and bring the mixture to a simmer.
• Cover the pan tightly with foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 1:30 hours until the ribs are fork-tender or the internal temperature reaches between 200ºF to 205ºF.
• Remove from the heat and transfer the meat to a plate while making the gravy.
• Remove and discard the sprigs including any bones left in the pan. Skim off any excess fat and discard it.
• To serve, place ribs along with carrots on mashed potatoes or polenta and spoon the gravy on top.
