• Cover the pan tightly with a double layer of aluminum foil. Bake the ribs until cooked through and tender, 2.5 hours.
• Remove the foil (careful - hot steam will escape). Baste the tops of the short ribs with the braising liquid, and continue baking them for 30 more minutes, allowing the tops to brown.
• Serve with the braising liquid. I like to place a small bowl filled with the braising liquid on each plate. This allows the diners to dip their meat into the yummy liquid.

RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS

RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIB STEW WITH POTATOES, CARROTS, AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Prepare the short ribs: In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the ghee or olive oil.
• Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season with the sea salt. Gently place the short ribs in the hot ghee or oil and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, turning as needed and searing in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pot. Transfer to a plate.
• To the same pot, add the onion, carrot and celery and cook until the veggies begin to brown, stirring as needed to avoid burning, about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine and deglaze the pot, scraping the browned bits loose from the bottom of the pot. Add the thyme and garlic and bring to a simmer. Let the wine reduce by half, about 10 minutes, then remove the pot form the heat.
• Place the browned short ribs into the wine reduction along with the bone broth and let marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can prepare this dish in advance by letting the ribs marinate for a full 24 hours-well worth it in our opinion.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Remove the pot from the refrigerator, cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and transfer to the oven to braise for 2 1/2 hours.
• At the 2 hour mark, when 30 minutes remain on the cooking time for the short ribs, prepare the vegetables: On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms with the ghee or oil and sea salt. Spread out in and even layer and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are knife-tender.
• Remove the pot with the short ribs from the oven, uncover, and transfer the meat to a plate. Strain the braising liquid into a deep serving dish; discard the solids from the liquid. Add the roasted veggies to the serving dish and stir to distribute evenly. Using your hands or a fork, break the short ribs into chunks and stir in as well. Garnish with a little chopped fresh parsley and serve family style.
• The stew or any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 6 months.

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.

RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Generously season the short ribs with fresh cracked pepper and Kosher salt, rubbing it over all sides. Heat the oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the short ribs to the pan in a single layer and sear, leaving the ribs in place for several minutes before turning. Repeat on all sides. Remove the short ribs to a plate. Drain off any excess fat from the pan, leaving 1 Tablespoon in the pan. Lower the heat to medium. Add the onions and saute until softened, 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute an additional minute, until fragrant. Pour in the wine and use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until reduced slightly. Nestle the short ribs back in the pan, then pour in the beef broth. They should be just barely covered. Place the rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf in the liquid surrounding the beef. Cover the pot and place in the oven. Bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until beef is very tender. Remove from the oven and allow to rest before serving. Optional but recommended: Place the pot in the fridge overnight. When you're ready to reheat, scrape off the hard layer of fat on top and discard. Reheat the beef in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or on the stove top over low heat. I recommend serving the beef with the liquid and onions over mashed potatoes, polenta, or egg noodles.

• After 3 hours, reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
• Turn oven to 175 degrees and remove 1/2 cup of braising liquid from pan and degrease. An easy method of separating the grease is by adding ice cubes and the grease sticks to the ice cube. Just don't let the ice melt, remove the cubes as you go.

• Remove most of the oil from the pot. Add the diced carrots and onions and cook, stirring, over medium heat until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and tomato paste to the pot and continue cooking, stirring constantly, for another minute. Add the wine to the pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low and simmer until wine reduces by half (about 20-25 minutes) *Don't rush this step! When the wine has reduced, add the broth and the herbs to the pot and stir to combine. Return the short ribs to the pot. Cover pot with lid and cook in preheated oven for 1 1/4 hours.
• After 1 1/4 hours in the oven, remove from oven and stir in the large pieces of carrots and potatoes, if using. Return to the oven, covered, for another 1 1/4 hours or until meat pulls apart easily and vegetables are tender. *Make sure there's a good bit of liquid in the pot at this point, to cook the vegetables. If not, add a bit more broth, wine or both.
• Remove from oven. Remove herbs and discard. Taste sauce and season with salt and freshly ground pepper, as needed. Remove short ribs and vegetables to a plate. Allow sauce to stand undisturbed for 10-15 minutes. The fat in the gravy should rise to the top, where you can spoon it off and discard. Return the short ribs and vegetables to the pot and re-warm on the stove-top with the gravy.

WINE-BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS

RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 325°F. Season the short ribs all over with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half of the short ribs and cook, without moving, until well browned on one side only, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the beef to a large plate. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon of oil and short ribs. (Note: Browning the beef adds flavor. It might seem odd to brown on one side only but I find that it saves time and does the job just as well.)
• Pour off all but one tablespoon of fat, return the pot to the stove, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. (If the onions begin to darken too quickly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to the pan.) Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes more. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until fully absorbed by the onion-tomato mixture, about 1 minute.
• Add the wine, broth, sugar, bay leaf and thyme sprigs; increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen browned bits. Add the short ribs and any accumulated juices to the pot and return to a boil. Cover the pot with a lid, transfer to the oven, and cook for 2 hours.
• Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Stir in the carrots. Cover and return the pot to the oven and cook 45 to 60 minutes more, or until the carrots and meat are tender. Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Skim any grease off the surface of the sauce, if necessary. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Spoon the short ribs and sauce into bowls over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta.
• Note: It's very important to trim all excess fat off of the exterior of the short ribs (although leave the marbling that goes throughout the meat alone), otherwise your sauce will be greasy. It's also a good idea to remove any silver skin, which is the thin, white/silvery membrane on the surface of the meat.
• Note: In selecting wine for this recipe, look for an inexpensive bottle that's still good enough to drink: a Pinot Noir or Merlot in the $8 - $12 range would be ideal.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: The short ribs can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Reheat, covered, over medium-low heat on the stovetop or in a 325°F oven.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The short ribs can be frozen for up to 3 months. Before serving, defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then reheat, covered, over medium-low heat on the stovetop or in a 325°F oven.

• Put on a lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the ribs are fork-tender and falling off the bone, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to sit for at least 20 minutes with the lid on before serving. At the last minute, skim the fat off the top of the liquid. (You can also refrigerate the mixture, then remove the solid fat from the top.)
• For each serving, arrange 2 ribs on a bed of the grits, spooning a little juice over the top.
• Cook the grits according to the package instructions, adding the salt with the water. Turn off the heat just before the grits are done.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs. To temper the eggs before adding them to the hot grits, throw a couple of spoonfuls of the hot grits into the eggs. Begin stirring immediately and continue stirring until the mixture is well combined.
• Pour the egg mixture into the grits. Stir constantly to incorporate the eggs into the grits. Add the butter and stir until melted. Next, add the cheese and stir until melted. Add the cayenne and garlic and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt or cayenne if necessary. You could also add more cheese if you think that will bring happiness to your life, but keep in mind that some cheeses increase the salt content more than others.
• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and pour the grits into the dish. Bake until the grits are hot and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. The grits will become firmer as they cool.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Sprinkle ribs with 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium- high heat. Brown ribs on all sides.Set the ribs aside; discard drippings in pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onions, carrots and garlic and cook until almost softened, 10 minutes.
• Return ribs to pot. Add broth, cherries, wine, thyme, bay leaf and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil and cover pot. Transfer to oven and bake ribs 2 hours, or until very tender and meat falls of the bone.
• Transfer ribs to a large, deep serving platter and cover. Skim fat; discard bay leaf.
• and any bones that may have fallen off. If sauce is too thin, bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes to reduce slightly(you should have about 2 1/2 cups). Whisk in mustard and horseradish. Pour sauce over ribs.

WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 F.
• Salt the short ribs liberally on all sides. Coat the bottom of a medium-sized ovenproof Dutch oven with oil and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the ribs in a single layer without crowding. Brown on all sides (as best you can). Remove and set aside.
• Add the onion and diced carrot (reserve the other carrot) to the pan and cook, stirring, until the onion pieces separate and the vegetables begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
• Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a few minutes, until the paste begins to brown slightly. Add the wine and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve the browned fond. Bring to a boil and cook for a minute or so, then add the beef stock and bay leaf. Add the ribs; the meat should be mostly but not completely submerged. If the liquid level doesn't come about two-thirds of the way up the ribs, add more beef stock.
• Cover the dutch oven and place in the oven. Cook for about 90 minutes, or until the meat is tender and is pulling away from the bones (depending on the size of the ribs and your oven, this can take longer. Be patient.) If some or all of the meat falls off the bones completely, don't worry.
• When the ribs are is done, remove from the sauce and keep them warm in a warming drawer or low oven. Strain the sauce mixture through a coarse strainer into a fat separator and discard the solids. When the fat has separated, pour the sauce back into the pan. If you don't have a fat separator, remove the meat, strain the sauce and let it sauce cool until any fat has risen to the top. Remove as much fat as possible with a spoon or use paper towels to blot it off, then return the sauce to the pan. Note: If you like, you can make the dish to this point and refrigerate overnight before finishing. Don't worry about removing the fat from the sauce; just refrigerate the sauce and meat separately and remove the layer of fat from the sauce before continuing.
• Over medium-high heat, bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat, keeping the sauce barely boiling. Add the sliced carrot and pearl onions and cook about 6 minutes or until carrots are just tender. If necessary, continue to boil the sauce until it thickens to the consistency of gravy. Add a few grinds of black pepper, and if the sauce is too acidic the brown sugar. Turn the heat down, so the sauce is barely simmering. (*If you've refrigerated the meat and sauce overnight, add the ribs back to the sauce at this point and heat for 7 to 8 minutes before continuing with the final step.)
• About 5 minutes before serving, add the ribs and mushrooms to the sauce to heat through. Serve over mashed potatoes, grits or noodles.
