KITTENCAL'S OVEN-ROASTED BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat bacon fat (or oil if using, can use both) in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• In a shallow dish mix together flour, seasoning salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
• Dredge the short ribs in the flour mixture to coat, shaking off any excess flour on ribs.
• Brown the ribs in the Dutch oven working in batches until lightly browned on all sides; remove to a plate.
• Pour off all but about 2-3 tablespooons fat, and add in the onions, chopped garlic and thyme; saute until lightly browned.
• Add in broth and red wine; bring to a boil, stirring.
• Return the ribs to the Dutch oven (if possible in a single layer).
• Add in the fresh small button mushrooms (if using, no need to saute the mushrooms first).
• Cover with a lid and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the ribs are desired tenderness.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• **NOTE** this is only optional: remove the ribs to a platter to keep warm and drain the cooking liquid through a sieve, then transfer the liquid to a saucepan to simmer and reduce slightly and thicken, scimming any fat that has accumulated on top, or you can just serve the sauce just as is from the Dutch oven.
• Pour the sauce over the ribs.

REALLY GREAT BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine paprika, chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, dry mustard and salt.
• Rub into ribs all over to coat well (I would use plastic gloves for this).
• Cover and marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight.
• Heat oil in large Dutch oven or roasting pan.
• Brown ribs well on all sides (this will probably take approximately 15-20 minutes).
• Remove from pan; set aside in a bowl.
• Discard all but a couple of tablespoons of fat from pot.
• Add onions and garlic to pan.
• Cook for 5 minutes or until translucent.
• Add in 2-3 cups barbecue sauce, beer or wine, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, Dijon mustard and chipotles (if using) mix to combine and bring to a boil.
• Place the browned ribs in sauce.
• Cover ribs tightly with heavy-duty foil (make a couple of holes in the foil to allow steam to escape) if your roaster has a lid, then just cover with the lid.
• Bake ribs in a 325°F oven for about 2-1/2- 3 hours or until very tender.

SIMPLE BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour until coated. Shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the ribs until browned on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Return the ribs to the skillet and pour in the beer. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan, until all of the browned bits have mixed in with the liquid. Pour in the beef stock, cover and simmer over low heat until very tender, about 2 hours.

BAKED CHILI RIBS

Steps:

• A day in advance, prepare the sauce.
• heat oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat.
• Add in the onion and garlic; saute for about 5 minutes.
• Add in all remaining sauce ingredients; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30-35 minutes.
• Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Also a day in advance, prepare the ribs.
• Make slits in the underside (white part) of the ribs and place in a large roasting pan.
• In a small cup mix the liquid smoke and cider vinegar, brush over the ribs and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, mix together the remaining seasonings and rub on all sides of the ribs; cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• To cook the ribs, set oven to 300 degrees.
• Season all sides of the ribs with salt and pepper, then arrange ribs (meat-side) up in a single layer on two baking sheets.
• Roast for about 3 hours, covering loosely with foil if the ribs are browning too much.
• After about 1-1/2 hours of roasting time change the position of the baking sheets, moving the bottom one up and the top one down.
• When the roasting time is almost finished, brush both sides of the ribs using the prepared sauce (leave some sauce to serve at the table) place back in the oven and roast for about 25 minutes more.
• Remove and cover loosely with foil and let stand for about 20 minutes.
• Cut the ribs between the bones and serve with remaining sauce.
