Roasted Short Ribs With Cauliflower And Celery Food

BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large dutch oven or oven safe pot with a lid, heat one tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add onion and carrots and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Remove veggies to a plate.
• Season the ribs with salt and pepper and coat on all sides with flour. Add 2 more tablespoons of oil to the pot and turn heat to high. Add ribs and brown on all sides, about 45 seconds per side. Remove to a plate.
• Add the wine to deglaze the pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bites of flavor. Bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes.
• Add beef broth, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in tomato paste. Taste broth and add additional seasonings, if needed.
• Add ribs, veggies, and (whole) sprigs of thyme and rosemary to the pot.
• Cover with the lid and place into the oven. Cook at 350 degrees for 2 hours, then reduce heat to 325 degrees and cook for an additional 30 to 45 minutes. Ribs should be very tender, nearly falling off the bone.
• Remove the pan from oven and allow rest for 20 minutes, with the lid on, before serving. Skim off any fat that has risen to the top of the liquid, before serving.
• Serve ribs over mashed potatoes with a spoonful of gravy from the pot.
• Store leftover short ribs in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days depending on the freshness of your ingredients.

ROASTED SHORT RIBS WITH CAULIFLOWER AND CELERY

Steps:

• For the short ribs:
• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 275°F. Slice garlic, sprinkle with salt, and mash to a paste on a cutting board using the side of a chef's knife; place in a small bowl. Mix in rosemary, oil, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes.
• Season ribs generously with salt and pepper and place in a medium cast-iron skillet. Coat all over with garlic paste and cover skillet tightly with foil. Cook on upper rack in oven, checking for doneness after 1 1/2 hours, until meat is fork-tender and falling off the bone, 2 1/2-3 hours. Remove from oven.
• For the cauliflower purée:
• Meanwhile, place cauliflower in a small baking dish. Rub all over with oil; season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and place in oven next to ribs. Bake until cauliflower is very easily pierced with a paring knife, 1 1/2-2 1/2 hours.
• Transfer hot cauliflower to a blender and add cream. Blend until very smooth; season with salt and pepper. Place in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
• For the salad and assembly:
• While the ribs and cauliflower are cooking, scatter hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast on bottom rack, tossing once, until golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Let cool, then rub together in a kitchen towel to remove skins, if using skin-on nuts. Coarsely chop and set aside.
• Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Uncover ribs and return to oven, placing on top rack. Roast, basting with fat from skillet every couple of minutes, until a deep brown crust develops, 12-15 minutes.
• Toss celery, celery leaves, parsley, and reserved hazelnuts in a medium bowl to combine. Drizzle with oil and vinegar and toss to coat; season celery salad with salt and pepper.
• Serve short ribs over cauliflower purée with celery salad on top.

RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH CASHEW CAULIFLOWER MASH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Liberally season the short ribs on all sides with 1 tablespoon of salt and the pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a 5-quart (5 liter) ceramic pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, add 6-7 pieces of short rib at a time to the pot and sear without disturbing for 2-3 minutes, until a golden brown crust forms. Turn the pieces and continue cooking until seared well on all sides. Remove the short ribs from the pan and set aside, adding another tablespoon of avocado oil to the pot if needed, and repeat with the remaining short ribs.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, celery, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften and release moisture.
• Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables, then cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and stir to coat the vegetables, then cook for 2-3 minutes more, until deep red in color. Pour in the wine and stir to release any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Nestle the short ribs on top of the vegetables in the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half, 15-20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C).
• Nestle the garlic between the short ribs, then place the carrots and thyme sprigs on top. Pour in the beef stock.
• Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake for 2½ hours, until the meat is falling off the bone and fork tender.
• While the short ribs are in the oven, make the cauliflower mash: Fill a medium pot with about an inch of water and set a steamer basket inside. Cover and bring the water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower to the basket and steam for 12-15 minutes, until mashable with the back of a fork, but not overcooked.
• Working in batches, transfer the steamed cauliflower to a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Using another bowl that is slightly smaller than the strainer, press the bowl into the cauliflower to press excess liquid from the cauliflower. Repeat with remaining cauliflower. Discard the liquid and set the cauliflower aside.
• Add the cashews to the bowl of a food processor. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until the cashews are completely broken down and can be mashed into a paste between your fingers, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Add the strained cauliflower, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined with the cashew paste.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.
• Serve the braised short ribs and carrots with the cauliflower mash and garnish with parsley.
• Enjoy!
