KOREAN-INSPIRED BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the grapeseed oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs until brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Reserve on a sheet tray.
• Add the Asian pear, lemongrass, ginger and scallions to the Dutch oven and cook for a few minutes. Add the gochujang and tomato paste and cook another minute or two to caramelize. Add the red wine, beef stock, soy sauce, sesame oil, orange zest and juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds and 2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Add the short ribs back, nestling them in so they are covered with liquid. Braise in the oven for 40 minutes.
• Lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees F and continue to cook until the short ribs are fork-tender, another 2 hours and 15 minutes to 2 hours and 45 minutes.
• Transfer the short ribs to a sheet tray and cover with foil to rest. Strain the cooking liquid, return to the Dutch oven and reduce over medium-high heat until slightly thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve the short ribs over the Sweet Potato Grits, with watercress and the sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the sweet potatoes: Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork, wrap in aluminum foil and cook until they feel soft all the way through when you gently squeeze them, about 40 minutes. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh and mash lightly with a fork. Set aside.
• For the grits: Place 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepot and bring to a boil over high heat. Whisk in the grits. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes back up to a boil, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, place a lid on top and let simmer for 15 minutes.
• Remove the lid and give the grits a good stir to help them finish absorbing the water. Add the sweet potatoes and stir until well mixed. Fold in the butter and nutmeg. Stir again until smooth. Add the remaining salt. Serve hot.

RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Pat ribs dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ribs and brown on all sides. Transfer the ribs to a plate, then add the garlic and stir until softened but not brown, about 1 minute. Carefully pour in the wine, bring to a boil and cook until reduced to about 1 cup. Add the ribs and any juices they have released back to the pot along with the stock. Reduce the heat and bring to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to the oven, to braise, until the meat easily falls off the bone, about 3 hours.
• Transfer the ribs to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Strain the braising liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a saucepan set over medium-high heat. Simmer the liquid, skimming fat as necessary, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Transfer the ribs and sauce to a serving dish and serve.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• For the breadcrumbs: Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then remove to a bowl. Add the parsley, lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl, then toss to combine. Set aside and allow to cool, then cover until ready to use.
• For the short ribs and carrots: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Return the pot used for the breadcrumbs to the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 4 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the short ribs and sear on all sides, about 45 seconds per side. Remove to a plate. Add the tomato paste, carrots, garlic and onion. Stir and allow the tomato paste to cook for a minute. Pour in the beef stock and add the short ribs back to the pot; add the rosemary and bay leaves. Cover and place in the oven. Cook until the ribs are fork-tender and falling off the bone, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
• Remove the carrots to a platter and use the back of a fork to mash them. Place the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over the top, followed by the short ribs. Skim the fat from the braising liquid and transfer the liquid it to a server. Garnish with the buttery panko breadcrumbs and serve.
