Wine Braised Short Ribs For Two Food

RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Pat ribs dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ribs and brown on all sides. Transfer the ribs to a plate, then add the garlic and stir until softened but not brown, about 1 minute. Carefully pour in the wine, bring to a boil and cook until reduced to about 1 cup. Add the ribs and any juices they have released back to the pot along with the stock. Reduce the heat and bring to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to the oven, to braise, until the meat easily falls off the bone, about 3 hours.
• Transfer the ribs to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Strain the braising liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a saucepan set over medium-high heat. Simmer the liquid, skimming fat as necessary, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Transfer the ribs and sauce to a serving dish and serve.

RED WINE-BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Season the short ribs generously with the flour, salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat and add the oil. Add the short ribs in batches and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the ribs to a plate.
• Meanwhile, add the carrots, celery and onion to a food processor and pulse until the vegetables are almost a puree, about 30 seconds.
• Reduce the heat under the pot to medium high, add the vegetable puree and saute, stirring often, until the veggies are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, Italian seasoning and a pinch of flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste darkens slightly, about 3 minutes. Slowly pour in the wine while whisking; whisk until smooth and combined. Add the sugar to the wine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the wine is reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir in the broth, garlic and bay leaves, bring to a boil, turn off the heat and add the ribs back to the pot. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the ribs are tender, about 3 hours. Serve over sweet potato polenta.

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.

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.

TENDER RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Generously season the short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper; set aside about 15 minutes.
• In a baking pan over medium-high heat, add oil and when hot, add the seasoned meat, fat side down, and brown on all sides including the ends, about 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer the short ribs to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add onions and carrots; sauté for 5 minutes. Halfway through cooking, add clarified butter.
• Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and stir to coat.
• Pour in the wine, stir to deglaze and bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 300ºF/150ºF.
• Add the beef broth, thyme, rosemary, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper; stir well.
• Return the meat to the pan, bone side up, including any accumulated juices. Spoon the sauce over the ribs to prevent them from drying out and bring the mixture to a simmer.
• Cover the pan tightly with foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 1:30 hours until the ribs are fork-tender or the internal temperature reaches between 200ºF to 205ºF.
• Remove from the heat and transfer the meat to a plate while making the gravy.
• Remove and discard the sprigs including any bones left in the pan. Skim off any excess fat and discard it.
• To serve, place ribs along with carrots on mashed potatoes or polenta and spoon the gravy on top.

RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIB

Steps:

• Preparation.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• In small bowl, combine the garlic salt, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Blend well.
• Apply generously the spice rub ingredients you just prepared to both sides of the short ribs.
• In oven proof roasting pot, coat bottom of pan with olive oil and brown each side of the rib (approximately 3 minutes per side) on a medium heat cooktop.
• Remove ribs and set aside
• Add carrots, onions, garlic and rosemary to same pot that you just browned the ribs in and saute until translucent.
• Add red wine and 2 Cups of the beef broth and and bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
• Return ribs to roaster and cover.
• Place in oven and cook for 3 hours. Periodically check to ensure liquid is still present. If needed, add more beef broth and red wine.
• 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.
• In a small pot, on medium heat whisk braising liquid, 1/2 cup beef broth and contents of gravy mix until thickened.
• Serve short ribs and drizzle sauce to taste.
