Sumatran Red Short Ribs Of Beef Food

RED-COOKED BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare the ribs: Heat oil in a large lidded Dutch oven over medium-high. Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, about 10 minutes per batch. Transfer browned short ribs to a large plate, and continue with remaining ribs.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of remaining fat, leaving the good browned bits behind. Reduce heat to medium. Add ginger, cinnamon, chiles, orange peel, Sichuan peppercorns, black peppercorns and star anise, and stir to get them coated in the fat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ginger has started to soften.
• Add the rice wine, soy sauces, sugar and molasses, then the chicken stock, and stir to combine. Using tongs, return short ribs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, nestling them into the braising liquid bone-side up, so the meat is submerged. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven.
• Cook, undisturbed, until short ribs are meltingly tender and falling off the bone (you should be able to shred the meat with a fork), 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
• Using tongs, remove the ribs from the pot and put them on a warm platter. Wrap tightly with aluminum foil and a couple of dish towels to keep them warm while you make the sauce.
• Prepare the sauce: Strain 3 cups of the braising liquid from the Dutch oven into another pot, discarding remaining braising liquid and solids. Set it over medium-high heat, and add the onions, tomato paste, doubanjiang, soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, garlic and five-spice powder; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cook, undisturbed, for 15 minutes, until reduced and thickened.
• Strain the sauce through a colander back into the Dutch oven you used to cook the ribs, and place the pot over medium-high heat. Make a slurry of the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water, then whisk it into the sauce to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. You're looking for something thick and glossy, like a demi-glace.
• Unwrap the ribs, daub them liberally with the sauce and serve with Bibb lettuce leaves, Thai basil, cilantro, scallions, cucumbers, rice and the remaining sauce.

RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• One day before cooking, season the short ribs liberally with salt. Allow the meat to marinate in the refrigerator, uncovered, overnight.
• The next day, pat the ribs dry with a paper towel. Heat a cast-iron Dutch oven over medium-high to high heat. Add a thin film of canola oil and sear the ribs until brown and crusty, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a plate to rest.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Drain the scorched oil from the Dutch oven. Add a thin film of fresh canola oil, then add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium and sweat the vegetables until translucent, about 5 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen the brown bits. Add the tomatoes and continue to cook until the tomatoes begin to soften and break down, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the red wine, chicken stock and peppercorns, then put the ribs back in the pot. Tie the thyme, rosemary and bay leaves in a piece of cheesecloth and add the herb sachet to the pot.
• Bring the liquid to a simmer. Partially cover the pot to let some of the liquid evaporate and transfer to the oven. Braise the short ribs until they're nearly falling apart, about 3 hours. Serve with grits and fried shallots if desired. Garnish with chives

RED-COOKED BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH DAIKON

Steps:

• Put meat in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 2 to 3 minutes, skimming off any foam. Drain meat in colander, discarding liquid.
• Transfer meat to medium bowl and season lightly with salt. Add soy sauce, wine, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, orange peel and chiles. Mix to coat and marinate 15 minutes.
• Put 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add sugar and stir until beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Add marinated meat and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add 2 cups water and bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until meat is tender, 40 minutes to an hour, adding water occasionally to keep meat barely covered.
• To prevent meat from overcooking, remove and set aside, then bring remaining cooking liquid to a rapid simmer over high heat and reduce to intensify color and flavor. (Or thicken sauce with potato starch.) Return meat to wok and coat with reduced sauce.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add daikon, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
• Put beef in a serving dish and arrange daikon on a platter. Drizzle both with sesame oil and garnish with cilantro sprigs and scallions.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS OF BEEF WITH RED WINE, APRICOTS, AND BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Dust with the flour. Heat the oil in a large braising pan or ovenproof casserole over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until most of the fat is rendered, then remove and set aside.
• Add as many ribs as can fit in a single layer to the pan. You will need to cook them in batches. Sear the ribs on both sides until well browned, then remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with the remaining ribs. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan.
• Lower the heat to medium, add the carrots and onions, season with salt and pepper, and saute until the vegetables begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato and paste and cook for 4 more minutes, scraping the browned bits off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the red wine and brandy and reduce by 1/2, about 6 minutes.
• Return the ribs and bacon to the pot. Add the remaining ingredients except the apricots and parsley and bring to a boil. The liquid should come 1/3 of the way up the ribs, if it does not, add some water. As soon as the liquid comes to a boil, turn off the heat an cover the ribs tightly with foil, pressing the foil down into the pan, then place a lid on the pan.
• Braise the ribs in the oven for 2 hours, turning them every 30 minutes so they cook evenly. Add water as necessary to keep the braising juice 1/3 of the way up the ribs.
• After 2 hours, add the apricots and cook for an additional 30 minutes. The meat should be almost falling off the bones (if it is not, keep cooking until it does). Transfer the short ribs to a large platter. Spoon the vegetables, olives, and apricots over them. Keep warm.
• Strain the braising juices into a clear glass container and siphon or skim off the fat. The braising juices may already be the consistency of a sauce. If not, return them to the pan and boil for a few minutes to thicken. If you prefer an absolutely smooth sauce, strain out any remaining pieces of vegetable. Taste, season with salt and pepper, and add the parsley. Pour the sauce over the ribs and serve immediately.

BEEF SHORT RIBS IN CINNAMON & RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large, heavy saucepan with fitted lid, melt the ghee on medium to high heat.
• Add the cooking oil and the cumin seeds.
• Let the seeds sizzle for 30 seconds.
• Smell the cinnamon bark before adding to the pot.
• If it's very strong, break the bark in ½ and only use half.
• If it's not strong enough, add ½ bark.
• Add the onions& sauté until the onions are medium brown in colour.
• Smell for the cinnamon throughout the cooking process.
• You should smell a mild cinnamon flavour instead of a strong one.
• If cinnamon is the only spice you smell, take out the bark and continue cooking the curry.
• Add the garlic and continue to sauté until garlic is golden brown and onions are a darker brown.
• The darker you sauté the onions without letting them burn, the richer the onion flavour will be in this dish.
• Temporarily lower the heat and add the tomatoes and all of the remaining spices.
• Once you stir the powdered spices in the tomatoes, increase the heat back to medium.
• Stir regularly and continue cooking the spices until the oil/ghee separates from the tomatoes.
• This will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
• If at any time the onions or tomato spice mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pan or looks like it's about to burn, either lower the heat or add 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee.
• Do not add water.
• This is meant to be a rich curry.
• Stir in the stock and red wine and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low.
• Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the oil/ghee separates from the stock and rises to the top, stirring occasionally.
• Add the short ribs and stir well.
• Bring back to a boil.
