Savory Braised Short Ribs Recipes

BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Season each short rib generously with salt. Coat a pot large enough to accommodate all the meat and vegetables with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Add the short ribs to the pan and brown very well, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook in batches, if necessary.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• While the short ribs are browning, puree all the vegetables and garlic in the food processor until it forms a coarse paste. When the short ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Drain the fat, coat the bottom of same pan with fresh oil and add the pureed vegetables. Season the vegetables generously with salt and brown until they are very dark and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Scrape the crud again and add the tomato paste. Brown the tomato paste for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat if things start to burn. Reduce the mixture by half.
• Return the short ribs to the pan and add 2 cups water or until the water has just about covered the meat. Add the thyme bundle and bay leaves. Cover the pan and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Check periodically during the cooking process and add more water, if needed. Turn the ribs over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When done the meat should be very tender but not falling apart. Serve with the braising liquid.

BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F
• Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat a Dutch oven or other large deep pan over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat for a couple minutes. Working in batches, brown the short ribs on all sides, 5 or 6 minutes per batch. Transfer the ribs to a plate after browning each batch. Add additional oil if needed.
• When all the ribs have been browned, pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the remaining fat from the pan. Add the carrots, onion, celery, garlic, herb bundle, bay leaf and peppercorns. Stir and scrape up any of the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the wine and bring to a boil, cook for 5 minutes to reduce the liquid and cook off the alcohol from the wine. Return the beef short ribs to the pan with the accumulated juices, arranging the beef in one layer, then add the beef broth.
• Cover the pot with its lid and transfer to the preheated oven and braise for 3 hours. Transfer the pot from the oven to the counter top, adjust the lid slightly off-pan to allow the steam to escape and let the beef ribs cool for 1 hour.
• Using a slotted spatula or large spoon carefully remove the beef ribs from the pot to a platter and cover loosely with foil and set the platter in the warm oven while preparing the sauce.
• Pour the cooking liquids through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium-size saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and boil until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes.
• While the liquids are reducing, mix the butter and flour together in a small dish, mashing with the back of a tablespoon to make a smooth paste.
• When the liquid has fully reduced to 2 cups, stir in the Dijon mustard and the Worcestershire sauce. Remove from the heat and whisk the butter/flour paste into the liquid until melted into the sauce. Return the pan to a medium heat, continue cooking and whisking for another 2 minutes to a smooth sauce. Transfer the sauce to a dish or gravy pitcher

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot on medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the ribs, in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the ribs to a plate as they become brown. Add the onion and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 30 seconds.

If there is too much liquid, return to the oven and continue to cook uncovered, until the meat is fork-tender. If most of the liquid has evaporated, add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of boiling beef broth or a combination of broth and red wine, return to the oven and continue to cook, uncovered until the meat is fork-tender.
• Transfer the ribs to a large serving bowl. Pour the broth into a gravy separator. Discard the excess fat. Adjust the seasoning of the remaining liquid with salt and pepper to taste.

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Salt and pepper the ribs, then dredge them in the flour. Set aside.
• In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until completely crispy and all the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon and set aside. Drain off any excess fat.

Add the broth, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper and bring to a boil. Taste and add more salt if needed. Add the ribs to the liquid; they should be almost completely submerged. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs (whole) to the liquid. Finally, add the cooked bacon.
• Put on a lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the ribs are fork-tender and falling off the bone, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to sit for at least 20 minutes with the lid on before serving. At the last minute, skim the fat off the top of the liquid. (You can also refrigerate the mixture, then remove the solid fat from the top.)

TANGY BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Season short ribs with salt and pepper at least 1 hour (at room temperature) and as much as 48 hours (covered and refrigerated) in advance.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Working in batches, sear short ribs until deeply golden brown on both large flat sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer short ribs to a large plate or cutting board and drain all but about 2 tablespoons fat from the pot. Discard remaining fat. Repeat with remaining short ribs. Drain all fat from the pot and carefully wipe out. (No need to wash, just get rid of any scorched bits.)
• In the same pot over medium-high, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and garlic get a bit of color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add honey and cook, stirring until it starts to bubble furiously, turning a darker amber brown and sticking to the bottom of the pot as it cooks.
• Add vinegar and soy sauce, and, using a wooden spoon or spatula, scrape up the bits on the bottom of the pot. Bring to a strong simmer and cook to reduce by about half, 5 to 8 minutes. Add broth and thyme, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper and add short ribs back in, bone-side up, making sure they are as submerged in that braising liquid as possible. Cover the pot and place in the oven. Do not look at it or remove the lid for 3 hours. (Nothing bad will happen, promise.)
• After 3 hours, check the short ribs, they should be extremely tender and nearly falling apart, almost having the jiggly texture of a baked custard or Jell-O. (If not, continue roasting another 20 to 30 minutes.) Remove from oven.
• At this stage, you can remove the lid and using a spoon, carefully skim as much of the top layer of fat as possible. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees, and return the pot to the oven, uncovered, to let the short ribs brown a bit on top and thicken the braising liquid a bit, another 35 to 45 minutes. (Alternatively, you can remove the short ribs from the oven, let them cool at room temperature and place in them in the fridge, overnight. When ready to serve, remove them from the fridge and using a spoon, scrape off the solidified fat on the top layer. Return the short ribs, covered, to a 325-degree oven until totally warmed through, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the lid and increase temperature to 425 degrees, and continue to cook, uncovered, to let the short ribs brown a bit on top and reduce the braising liquid, another 35 to 45 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, combine parsley and chives in a small bowl and season with flaky salt.
• Remove the short ribs from the oven and serve straight from the pot or transfer them to a shallow bowl or plate with high sides, spooning the braising liquid over. Squeeze lemons over, letting the juice season the braising liquid. Sprinkle with parsley mixture before serving.
