Add half of beef and cook without moving, 4-6 minutes, until well browned. Turn beef over and cook second side until well browned, another 4-6 minutes. If fat begins to smoke, reduce heat. Transfer beef to medium bowl. Repeat with remaining oil and beef.
• Reduce heat to medium, add onion, and cook, stirring often, until softened and barely browned, 12-15 minutes. (If onions darken too quickly, add 1-2 tbsp water to pan.).
• Add tomato paste and stir constantly until it browns on sides and bottom of pan, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook unitl fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Turn heat up to medium-high, add wine, and simmer, scraping up fond from sides and bottom. Simmer until reduced by half, 8-10 minutes. Add beef broth, carrots, thyme, and bay leaf. Add beef and any juices in the bowl. Cover and bring to a simmer. Transfer to oven and cook 2 to 2½ hours, turning meat twice with tongs during cooking. When done, a fork will slip easily in and out of meat.
• Place water in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer meat and carrots to serving platter; tent with foil. Strain cooking liquid through a fine strainer into a fat separator. Press on solids to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard solids. Allow to settle, then strain off fat. Return liquid to Dutch oven and reduce to 1 cup over medium heat, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in bloomed gelatin; season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over meat and serve.

• Liberally sprinkle all sides of the short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the oil. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side, working in batches if necessary. Set aside on a plate.
• Add the carrots, celery, garlic and onions to the pot with the short rib drippings and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Cook the vegetables until they turn golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Add in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more. Add the wine and deglaze the pot, scraping up any developed fond (brown bits) from the bottom. Bring the wine to a simmer and add some salt and pepper. Add the thyme, bay leaf and short ribs and any leftover juices from the plate. Cover the pot, transfer to the oven and cook, turning the short ribs once after about 1 hour of cooking, until the meat is fork-tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove the short ribs from the braising liquid and set aside to cool slightly.
• Skim the fat off the top of the braising liquid. Strain the liquid and bring it to a simmer until reduced by half, about 8 minutes (you should have about 2/3 cup of reduced sauce). Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the ribs and sauce over creamy polenta.

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 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.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, add to the pot and cook until all sides are golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes a side.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onions, leeks and shallots and cook until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the red bell pepper to the pot with the short ribs. Slice the Jalapenos and add to the sauteing vegetables.
• Once the short ribs are completely browned, add the sauteed vegetables, tomatoes, carrots, garlic, bouquet garni, peppercorns and wine to the short ribs. Fill with water within 1 inch (2½cm) from the top and bring to a boil. Cover and transfer to the oven and braise until the meat is fork-tender, 2½ to 3 hours.
• Check the short ribs and if they are fork-tender, remove from the oven. Discard the bouquet garni. Serve the short ribs with the vegetables.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• 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 olive oil to the pan with the bacon fat and raise the heat to high. Brown the ribs on all sides, about 45 seconds per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.
• Lower the heat to medium. Add the carrots, shallots and onions to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Splash in the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to release all the flavorful bits of glory. 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.)
• For each serving, arrange 2 ribs on a bed of the grits, spooning a little juice over the top.
• Cook the grits according to the package instructions, adding the salt with the water. Turn off the heat just before the grits are done.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs. To temper the eggs before adding them to the hot grits, throw a couple of spoonfuls of the hot grits into the eggs. Begin stirring immediately and continue stirring until the mixture is well combined.
• Pour the egg mixture into the grits. Stir constantly to incorporate the eggs into the grits. Add the butter and stir until melted. Next, add the cheese and stir until melted. Add the cayenne and garlic and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt or cayenne if necessary. You could also add more cheese if you think that will bring happiness to your life, but keep in mind that some cheeses increase the salt content more than others.
• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and pour the grits into the dish. Bake until the grits are hot and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. The grits will become firmer as they cool.
