Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs Food

RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the short ribs on a sheet pan, brush the tops with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Roast for 20 minutes and remove from the oven. Reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large (12-inch) Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, over medium heat. Add the leeks, celery, onions, and carrots and cook over medium to medium-high heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the liquid is reduced. Add the stock, tomatoes, Guinness, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
• Place the ribs in the pot, along with the juices and seasonings from the sheet pan. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook in the oven for one hour. Uncover and cook for one more hour, until the meat is very tender.
• Remove the short ribs to a plate with a slotted spoon and discard the thyme bundle and any bones that have separated from the meat. Simmer the sauce on the stove for 20 minutes, until reduced. Skim some of the fat off the top and discard. Return the ribs to the pot, heat for 5 minutes, and taste for seasonings. Serve hot in shallow bowls, with a toasted baguette and extra sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add short ribs and cook for about 10 minutes, turning to brown all sides. Remove to slow cooker insert.

• Pour hot wine and vegetable mixture over short ribs in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until meat is very tender. Alternatively, cook on high for about 3 to 5 hours.
• Remove short ribs to a serving bowl or platter and keep warm. At this point, they will have separated from the bones, so you can discard the bones.
• Strain cooking liquids and discard the solids. Skim fat from the juices (use a gravy separator if possible). Add juices to a medium saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and continue boiling for about 5 minutes, or until reduced by about one-third to one-half. You should have about 2 cups of sauce. Taste sauce and season with salt and freshly ground pepper, as needed.
• Pour sauce over short ribs and serve immediately; or return to the slow cooker and keep warm until serving time.
• Serve with mashed potatoes or a potato gratin, or serve open-faced on toasted sandwich buns with some of the sauce. Enjoy.
