RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine all the marinade ingredients-the garlic through the red wine-in a large pan. Bring the wine to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes, and then let it cool a bit before combining with the ribs. (see notes)
• Place the ribs in a plastic storage bag. Carefully pour the marinade in with the ribs. Squeeze the air out, and seal the bags tightly. Place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 275 convection / 300 degrees conventional. When you're getting ready to braise the ribs, remove the short ribs from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Scrape off large bits of marinade ingredients that may be sticking to the ribs. Find 3 garlic cloves and a sprig of rosemary from the marinade, and mince for later.
• Place a large bowl in the sink, and place a finely meshed sieve over the bowl. Pour the marinade through the
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven safe dutch oven. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and parsnip to one dutch oven or skillet; add the other half of the veggies to your second cooking vessel, or hold aside to do in 2 batch. Cook the veggies until they soften, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the short ribs to the veggie mixture. Turn the meat over every few minutes to brown the meat on each site.
• Have the oven preheated to 275. Once the meat has browned in the dutch oven, add the broth, rosemary, minced garlic and 1.5 cups of reserved marinade. Bring to a boil, then cover and move from the stove top to the oven. Cook for at least 3 hours, until the meat is very tender. Check every hour or so to make sure you still have liquid in the dutch oven.
• Start this as you get within 30 minutes of finishing the beef slow cooking process. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet on medium. Add the shallot, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, cook until they sweat, about 5 minutes.
• After the ribs have braised for 3 hours, remove the Dutch oven from the oven and place on the stove top. Remove the cover from the beef. You should have some excess liquid. Scoop a ladleful of the broth from the beef into the mushroom skillet. Cook the broth down until it is mostly absorbed. Remove the short ribs from the dutch oven, and place on a platter. Cut the meat off the bones-it should slide off very easily and some meat will have come off the bone during the cooking. Cut the beef into smaller bite sized pieces, and removed large pieces of excess fat.
• Put the chopped beef back into the cooking vessel, and stir it into the broth. Stir the mushrooms in with the beef. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to blend the flavors and reduce the sauce a bit. The beef can be served at this point, or kept warm on low heat until you are ready to serve.
• Serve the beef and mushrooms over buttered noodles or mashed potatoes. Scoop the beef and mushrooms out with slotted spoon, then scoop the desired amount of additional sauce to serve over the beef. And of course, serve it with a glass of red wine!

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.
