Beef Short Ribs Pasta Sauce Food

BEEF SHORT RIB RAGU

Steps:

• In a large casserole dish (or using the Saute function on an Instant Pot [IP] electric pressure cooker), heat the olive oil.NOTE: If you're going to slow cook the ribs in the oven, preheat the oven to 120C/Gas 1/2 now
• When the oil is hot, brown the beef short ribs well, in batches if necessary. Remove to a plate.
• Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic to the pot, season with a little salt and some black pepper, then saute until starting to soften and brown (10-15 minutes). Make sure you scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the chilli flakes if using and the dried oregano for the final few minutes.
• Pour in the red wine and let it bubble for a few minutes until it has almost all evaporated.
• Stir in the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, sugar if using, balsamic vinegar, the bay leaf and HALF the basil. Bring to the boil.
• Return the browned beef short ribs to the pot, nestling them down in the sauce.
• Add enough of the beef stock to almost cover the ribs. Stir, but ensure the ribs are left almost covered in the liquid.
• If using an IPPress the Keep Warm/Cancel button, lock on the IP lid and make sure the lever is pointing to 'Sealing'. Press the Manual button then use the + / - buttons to set the time to 40 minutes.Leave until the time has elapsed and the indicator has counted down to zero. Switch off and leave until the pressure has naturally released. Switch the lever to 'venting' then carefully remove the lid. With a fork, test some of the beef: if it doesn't come away easily from the rib, cook for a further 5 minutes then check again.If cooking in the ovenBring to a boil on top of the stove, then put in the preheated oven with a tight fitting lid on. Cook until the beef is very tender (2-3 hours) and comes away easily from the rib when tested with a fork.
• When the meat is done, carefully remove the beef short ribs from the pot and set aside on a plate.
• If the sauce looks a little thin, bubble it to reduce a little (use the Saute function if using an Instant Pot, on top of the stove otherwise.
• Whizz the ragu to a chunky puree using a stick/immersion blender.Optional: set aside to cool a little then remove any unwanted fat that has risen to the top.
• Take the meat off the ribs and shred it: use either 2 forks or your hands to remove any unwanted sinew or large pieces of fat.Return the shredded meat to the sauce.
• Let the ragu bubble for a few minutes to meld the flavours, adding the other half of the fresh basil near the end (reserve some for a garnish if liked). Remove from the heat.

SHORT RIBS WITH TAGLIATELLE

Steps:

• Place the olive oil in a large heavy soup pot over medium heat. Cook the pancetta until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, season the short ribs with salt and pepper, and dredge in the flour. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta from the pan and set aside. Add the short ribs to the pan and brown on all sides, about 7 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, combine the onion, carrot, parsley and garlic in a food processor and blend until finely minced. Then add the tomatoes and tomato paste and pulse.
• Once the short ribs are browned, carefully add the mixture from the food processor to the pot. Return the pancetta to the pot and stir. Add the rosemary, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, beef broth, and wine. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for another hour and a half, stirring occasionally. Remove the meat and bones from the pot. Discard the bones. Shred the meat and return it to the pot. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper, or to taste.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes for dried pasta and 2 to 3 minutes for fresh. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the pot and stir to combine. Add the reserved pasta liquid 1/4 cup at a time, if
• needed, to moisten the pasta. Transfer to serving bowls, top each bowl with 1 teaspoon of chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.

SLOW COOKED BEEF SHORT RIBS SAUCE

Steps:

• Brown the short ribs: Season short ribs liberally with salt and pepper. You'll need about two teaspoons,
• Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot to a medium-high heat. Add olive oil. As soon as the oil is shimmering hot, add in the ribs.
• Cook the ribs in batches so they're not crowded. Should take about 4 minutes per side to get the nice and brown color. If there is a lot of drippings, remove some and leave about 2 tablespoons in the pot.
• Cook the veggies: Add in the onions, carrots, and celery. Season with a teaspoon of salt and some black pepper (if you like). Cook until the onion is translucent.
• Herbs: Add in the herbs and bay leaves (I usually have some fresh rosemary and sage on hand or even dried rosemary and sage. You could use just rosemary if that's all you have on hand).
• Deglaze: Add in the red wine (if you're using). If you don't have any wine on hand, you could add a cup of beef broth. Turn the heat to medium-high. Use your wooden spoon to stir and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it cook until most of the wine has cooked down with the brown bits and the onion mixture.
• Sauce: Now is the time to add in the tomato sauce. Use your wooden spoon to carefully stir it around the ribs. Lower the heat to medium-low to let it slowly simmer. I usually make this with strained tomatoes in a glass jar. I pour in the sauce and then add water to fill about 1/2-3/4 full in bottle and shake it to get the sauce that's on the bottom of the jar. I add that watery tomato sauce to the pot and stir together.
• Simmer: In a large pot (or Dutch oven), the rib sauce will cook for 3-4 hours (or longer) until the ribs pulls away from the bones and are very tender. Check the sauce, stirring occasionally, and add a little bit more water if it's thickening too much. Every oven is different. If the temperature is too low and it's not simmering, raise the temperature a little. Keep checking on the sauce and stirring, raising the heat a little, until it gets to a nice simmer.
• Finish the rib sauce: Remove the pot from the burner and place the pot on top of the counter on top of something to protect your counter from the hot bottom of the pan. Remove herbs and the bay leaves. Use tongs or a large metal spoon to remove the ribs. Depending on long you cooked the sauce, the meat may have already removed from the bone. In any case, remove all the bones and the meat.
• Place the meat on a cutting board and use a fork and knife or two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
• Place the rib bites back into the pot with the sauce.
• Cook the pasta: If you're serving with pasta, cook the pasta according to directions on the box. Drain the pasta a little bit before al dente, and place the pasta in a large skillet with the sauce. Stir it to combine and add a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with grated Parmigiano Reggiano or pecorino.

BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH A BORDELAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat large saute pan until smokey hot. Season both sides of ribs with salt and pepper, I use fresh ground pepper and sea salt. In 1 tbsp of olive oil, sear ribs on both sides for 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and place in a large casserole dish. On medium heat, saute all vegetables, thyme and peppercorns for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir until well combined, no lumps. Deglaze with red wine and let reduce for 5 minutes. Add beef stock and bring to a boil. Pour all sauce over the ribs, cover and braise in the oven at 325 for 3 hours.
• When finished, remove ribs and keep warm. Strain the vegetables from the sauce, reserving 3/4 cup, and return to the stove on medium high heat. Combine cold water and flour in equal parts, whisk into reserved sauce, then whisk this into the remaining sauce to slightly thicken. When done, plate the ribs and ladle sauce onto the ribs. I served this with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed baby carrots.

BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH RIGATONI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• Heat the olive oil in a large stovetop-to-oven-to-tabletop casserole, 12 by 2 inches deep. (I love my Le Creuset.)
• Rub the ribs with salt and pepper and brown them in batches. Do not crowd the ribs or they will steam instead of brown. As they brown, transfer them to a dish.
• If there is a lot of fat in the pan, drain off most of it, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Brown the pancetta; stir in the onions, fennel, and carrots and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
• Stir in the garlic and cook 2 minutes.
• Stir in the mushrooms and cook 2 minutes more.
• Raise the heat to high and pour in 1/3 cup of the wine. Cook until the wine almost evaporates, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the red pepper flakes and oregano.
• Combine the remaining wine, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar in a bowl; mix well, then pour over the ribs.
• Cover the pan tightly with a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and then a cover and bake for 2 hours or until the ribs are tender.
• Adjust the sauce seasoning if necessary.
• Remove the ribs to a cutting board; trim the meat away from the bone and connective tissue into small pieces and return the meat to the pan.
• Discard the bones and connective tissue. Keep the ragu warm while the rigatoni cooks.
• Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil; add 1 tablespoon of salt and the rigatoni. Cook until the rigatoni is al dente.
• Drain the rigatoni and return it to the pot.
• Ladle some of the ragu sauce over the rigatoni and mix well. Transfer the rigatoni to a platter and pour the ragu over the pasta. Or mix the pasta directly in the casserole dish.
• Serve with grated Parmigiano Reggiano sprinkled over the top.
