INSTANT POT COLA-BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Combine the paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Add the short ribs to the bowl, rub the spice mixture all over and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Set a 6-quart Instant Pot® to high saute (see Cook's Note) and add 2 tablespoons of the oil once it is hot. Working in batches, sear all 4 sides of each short rib, about 2 minutes per side. Set the short ribs aside on a plate.
• With the pot still on high saute, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to scrape up bits on the bottom, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and garlic and cook until the tomato paste is deeply toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cola, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and 1/2 cup of the beef broth and stir to combine. Put the ribs back into the pot along with any juices on the plate and turn to coat with the liquid. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 45 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and transfer the short ribs to a large plate.
• Use a ladle to skim any excess fat off the top of the liquid and then turn the pot back to high saute. While the liquid begins to simmer, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of beef broth with the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a slurry. Whisk in the slurry and cook, whisking intermittently, until the sauce is reduced and thickened to a syrup-like consistency, 15 to 20 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and transfer the short ribs back to the pot to coat with the sauce. Serve the short ribs hot with the sauce over mashed potatoes, polenta or rice, if using.

Steps:

• Arrange an oven rack in the lower third position and the other in the upper third position. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Add the Private Selection® Sumatran Mandheling Medium-Dark Roast Ground Coffee to the bottom of a French press. Pour the boiling water over the grounds.

Immediately pour the coffee into a heatproof liquid measuring cup and set aside.
• Season the short ribs all over with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add short ribs, (in batches if needed) and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer the short ribs to a plate and discard all but a thin layer of oil.
• Return the Dutch oven to medium-high heat and add the Private Selection® Vidalia Sweet Onion, garlic, and carrots. Cook until the onion is translucent and the carrots have started to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, until golden in color, 1 minute more.
• Add the beef broth and use a wooden spatula to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the bay leaves, rosemary, short ribs and any accumulated juices, and 1½ cups of the brewed coffee. Bring to a boil.
• Cover the Dutch oven and transfer to the oven. Cook for about 1½ hours, or until the short ribs are tender and the sauce has thickened.
• Meanwhile, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Add potatoes to a prepared baking sheet and toss with 1½ tablespoons Private Selection™ Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil and ½ teaspoon salt until well coated. Spread in a single layer, cut side down. On the other prepared baking sheet, toss the broccoli with the remaining tablespoon olive oil and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
• After short ribs have been in the oven for 1 hour, add the potatoes and broccoli to the oven and cook until tender, 25-30 minutes.
• Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and transfer the short ribs to a platter. Discard the rosemary stems and bay leaves. Let the sauce settle, then skim the fat from the surface and discard. Season the sauce with more salt to taste.
• Divide the potatoes and broccoli between shallow bowls, then top with the short ribs and spoon sauce over top.
• Enjoy!

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.
