Short Rib And Beer Stew Food

STOUT BEER BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Pat the short ribs dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven, over medium high heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, working in batches if necessary. Remove browned short ribs to a plate and discard most of the fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pot.
• Lower the heat to medium and add the onions, garlic, carrots, celery and leek. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until well combined.
• Add the beer and beef broth and, using a wooden spoon, scrape all the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Then, stir in the brown sugar, bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Add the short ribs and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and transfer to the oven.
• Cook until the short ribs are very tender, about 3 hours.
• Option #1 - Serve same day. Remove pot from the oven and carefully scoop out the ribs from the pot. Remove the bones and tendons, being careful not to shred the meat. Reserve. Strain the liquid through a fine-meshed sieve into a clean saucepan. Stir in the mustard and cook the sauce until it's reduced to a consistency thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, removing the excess fat as it rises to the surface. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. If the short ribs have cooled, you can add them to the sauce to reheat them.
• Option #2 - Make one day ahead. Remove pot from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Carefully remove ribs from the liquid and remove bones and tendons, being careful not to shred the meat. Strain the liquid through a fine-meshed sieve, getting rid of the veggies. Return the short ribs to the sauce and refrigerate overnight. The next day, the fat will have solidified on the surface. Remove it and discard. Remove the ribs and heat the sauce. Then, run the sauce through a fine-meshed sieve again, into a clean saucepan. Stir in the mustard and cook the sauce until it's reduced to a thick consistency. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Add the short ribs to the pan to reheat.
• Serve, garnished with chopped parsley or thyme sprigs.

EASY BEER BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH DELECTABLE GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 275 F.
• Clean and rough chop all the veggies and set aside. Pat dry the ribs and liberally season with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Over medium-high heat the cooking oil in a braiser/Dutch oven or large heavy skillet and sear the short ribs for about 1-2 mins on each side. Work in batches so that you do not overcrowd the pan. When nicely browned, remove the short ribs and set aside.
• Lower the heat to medium, add the veggies, stir them and let them soften for a few minutes. Add the flour and tomato paste (if using) stir and cook for about a minute.
• Deglaze by adding the beer and be sure to scrape all brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the beef stock, the bay leaves, sage, thyme and stir in the brown sugar. Add the short ribs, distribute evenly and increase heat to bring to boil.
• Once boiling cover and place in the oven for about 3 hours. The ribs should be very tender before you take them out of the oven.
• When the short ribs are done, remove them from the braising liquid (carefully, the meat will be very tender) and let them rest for a few minutes. You can then remove the tendons and bones before you serve them.**
• Use a large, heavy skillet and complete steps #2 thru #5 from the Braiser/Dutch oven method above.
• Very carefully transfer the braising mixture and the ribs to your slow cooker and cook on low until they reach your desired tenderness.
• If you want to make a gravy from the braising liquid first scoop out the vegetables and discard them. Using a large spoon skim off and remove as much of the fat floating on top of the liquid. Then strain the braising liquid using a sieve.
• Heat a pan***over medium heat, add the strained braising liquid and the Dijon mustard and bring to simmer, mix to incorporate, add slurry and stir to thicken.
