Chipotle Short Ribs Food

SHORT RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE CHERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Short Ribs: Pat the ribs dry and season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste.
• In a large braising pot, preferably an enameled cast iron Dutch oven, heat the oil over high heat. Add the ribs in batches, so as not to crowd. Brown them deeply on each side and when all have been seared, remove them from the pot and add 1/3 of the beer to deglaze. Turn off the heat and scrape the fond from the bottom of the pan.
• Sauce: Strain the fat from the Dutch oven, leaving the juices and return the pot to medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, cook for 2 minutes more, then add both cans of the drained cherries. Bring to a simmer, add the chipotle paste and molasses and adjust seasonings, if needed. Reduce the mixture for 10 minutes at a simmer. At this point you can strain for a more elegant sauce, then add the butter, or just add the butter and leave rustic.
• Put the beef ribs back in the pot, stir to combine with the onions and shallots, and pout in the remaining beer and sherry. Cover and roast, turning the ribs every 40 minutes. After 3 hours, drizzle in the molasses, return the lid and roast for 1 hour more.
• Transfer the ribs and the sauce to a serving dish and serve.

FALL APART OVEN BAKED RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the Rub ingredients in a bowl.
• Pat the ribs dry, then rub with the Rub. If time permits, refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Take ribs out of the fridge, place in a large baking dish in a single layer (squished is ok, they will shrink slightly).
• Preheat oven to 160C/325F.
• Pour beer into the baking dish and cover with a lid (use foil if you don't have a lid). Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the Sauce.
• Take out of the oven and remove lid. Pour the sauce over the ribs, then return to the oven (uncovered).
• Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, turning once or twice, until the ribs are cooked to your liking. The meat should be very tender and comes off the bone easily, and the sauce should be thick and "jam-like". If the pan starts looking dry, add a splash of water.
• To finish the ribs off, grill/broil for 5 to 10 minutes to get a nice browned finish on top (this is an optional step).
• Serve, garnished with fresh coriander/cilantro leaves and wedges of lime.
