MOUTHWATERING POUTINE WITH SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Begin by seasoning both sides of the short ribs with salt and pepper. Drizzle enough olive oil in a dutch oven with a tight fitting lid to cover the bottom and heat over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the short ribs in a single layer being sure not to crowd the pan. Cook until all sides are brown and repeat with any remaining short ribs if necessary. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for just a minute or two to cook out the raw taste of the tomato paste. Add the beef stock and a good pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any brown bits and stir. Turn the heat to low and add the short ribs (and any juices collected from the bowl) back in. Cover with a lid and cook on the stove for 2½- 3 hours or until the meat is very tender.
• When the meat is done, remove from the broth with a slotted spoon and set aside. Skim some of the fat off the top of the liquid and discard. When the meat is cool enough to handle, remove the bones and shred into small pieces.
• Bring the braising liquid to a simmer. Meanwhile, in a small pot on the stove, melt the butter and flour to make a roux. When the flour taste has cooked out, whisk the roux into the braising liquid until it thickens into a gravy. If it's too thick, add a little more beef stock. Gently simmer the gravy, whisking every so often for about 10-15 minutes. Add the shredded meat back into the gravy and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• To assemble, place a handful of hot fries on a plate and sprinkle with cheese curds. Top with as much of the short rib gravy as desired. Serve immediately.
