Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 ounces chopped pancetta (about 1/2 cup)
2 1/2 pounds short ribs
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic
1 (14-ounce) can tomatoes (whole or diced)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
2 1/2 cups beef broth
3/4 cup red wine
1 pound fresh or dried tagliatelle
4 to 6 teaspoons shaved bittersweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Place the olive oil in a large heavy soup pot over medium heat. Cook the pancetta until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, season the short ribs with salt and pepper, and dredge in the flour. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta from the pan and set aside. Add the short ribs to the pan and brown on all sides, about 7 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, combine the onion, carrot, parsley and garlic in a food processor and blend until finely minced. Then add the tomatoes and tomato paste and pulse.
  • Once the short ribs are browned, carefully add the mixture from the food processor to the pot. Return the pancetta to the pot and stir. Add the rosemary, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, beef broth, and wine. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for another hour and a half, stirring occasionally. Remove the meat and bones from the pot. Discard the bones. Shred the meat and return it to the pot. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper, or to taste.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes for dried pasta and 2 to 3 minutes for fresh. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the pot and stir to combine. Add the reserved pasta liquid 1/4 cup at a time, if
  • needed, to moisten the pasta. Transfer to serving bowls, top each bowl with 1 teaspoon of chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.

SHORT RIB RAGù RECIPE BY TASTY



Short Rib Ragù Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: bone-in beef short rib, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, olive oil, yellow onion, carrot, garlic, tomato paste, port or red wine, crushed tomato, beef stock, dijon mustard, bay leaves, fresh thyme, water, pappardelle pasta, fresh parsley, grated parmesan cheese

Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 lb bone-in beef short rib, cut into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
3 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup yellow onion, diced
1 ½ cups carrot, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups port or red wine
28 oz crushed tomato, 1 can
1 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 bay leaves
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup water, as needed
2 lb pappardelle pasta
fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
grated parmesan cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pat the short ribs with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, then season generously with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
  • Add the olive oil to a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot and heat over high heat until shimmering. Add half the short ribs and sear on each side until deep brown, about 7 minutes total. Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with the remaining short ribs.
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon of rendered fat from the pot. Add the onion, carrot, garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Sauté over medium heat until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste and sauté for a few more minutes, until darkened and thickened.
  • Pour in the wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits, or fond, from the bottom and sides of the pan. Reduce the liquid by half, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, beef stock, mustard, bay leaves, and thyme to the pot. Stir to combine.
  • Add the short ribs, making sure the meat is submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add up to 1 cup (240 ml) of water as needed if the sauce gets too thick. Skim excess fat off the top as needed. The short ribs are done when the meat pulls apart easily.
  • Discard any bones that the meat has fallen off of, as well as the bay leaves and thyme stems. Transfer the short ribs to a cutting board. Pull out any remaining bones and discard. Using two forks, shred the meat, then return to the pot.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 15 minutes over low heat.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Plate the pasta in shallow bowls and ladle a scoop of ragù on top. Garnish with finely chopped parsley and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy!

GARLIC BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE



Garlic Braised Short Ribs With Red Wine image

If you weren't already sure about how easy and delicious braised short ribs can be, consider this classic and straightforward recipe an excellent gateway. The ultimate hands-off, do-ahead dinner, these are done on the stovetop in a large Dutch oven but can easily be adapted to a slow cooker if that's your thing. When purchasing the ribs, ask for the thickest, meatiest ones available as they tend to shrink quite a bit once braised.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     meat, soups and stews, main course

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 pounds bone-in short ribs, at least 1 1/2 inches thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large heads garlic, halved crosswise
1 medium onion (about 10 ounces), chopped
4 ribs celery (about 8 ounces, chopped
2 medium carrots (about 6 ounces), chopped
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups dry red wine (about half a bottle)
2 cups beef stock or bone broth (use beef bouillon dissolved in water if unavailable; chicken stock will work in a pinch), plus more as needed
4 sprigs thyme
1 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped chives
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 275 degrees. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, 6 to 8 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, and add garlic, cut side down and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and continue to cook until vegetables are softened but not yet browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato paste has started to caramelize a bit on the bottom and up the edges of the pot, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add red wine and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned or caramelized bits. Let this simmer 2 to 3 minutes, just to take the edge off and reduce a bit. Stir in beef stock along with thyme. Using tongs, return short ribs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, nestling them in there so that they are submerged (if they are just barely covered, nestle them bone side up so that all the meat is submerged, adding more beef stock or water as necessary to cover). 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), 3½ to 4 hours.
  • Using tongs, remove the ribs from the pot, taking care (for presentation purposes, really) not to let the bone slip out and transfer them to a large plate. (While you could serve the short ribs right out of this pot, the vegetables have all given up their flavor and texture and aren't worth much now, so feel free to strain the sauce for easier eating.) Scatter parsley, chives and lemon zest over the top of the short ribs. Separate the fat from the sauce, season with salt and pepper and serve alongside.

Provided by Gerry sans Sanddunes

Categories     European

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 lbs meaty beef short ribs
flour
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 tablespoon additional garlic, crushed and chopped
1/2 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon crushed red chile
1 cup additional crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons additional olive oil
pasta (the CARIBOU RESTAURANT chef recommended using Bucatini)
grated parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons fresh basil

Steps:

  • You will need a heavy-bottomed pot that can go into your oven for this recipe.
  • Cooking starts on the stovetop, moves to the oven, then returns to the top-of-the-stove.
  • As well, it can be prepared over 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 400*F.

  • Reduce oven heat to 300*F and cook ribs for an additional 2 hours.
  • (All the above can be done the day ahead. Should you go the 2-day route, re-warm the sauce and ribs just enough to pull the meat off the bones.) Shred the meat discarding the bones.

  • Top with fresh basil and grated cheese.
  • Enjoy!

Penne with Braised Short Ribs image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds beef short ribs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
5 Roma tomatoes, cut into eighths
1 cup red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 pound penne pasta
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Season the ribs with salt and pepper. In a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or ovenproof stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. In batches, add the ribs and brown on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the ribs and set aside. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, wine and mustard. Bring the mixture to a boil and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the ribs to the pan. Add the beef broth, cover the pan and place in the oven for 2 1/2 hours until the meat is fork-tender and falls easily from the bone.
  • Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid. Using a large spoon, remove any excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. Using a ladle, transfer the cooking liquid in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and keep warm over low heat. Remove the meat from the bones. Discard the bones. Using 2 forks, shred the meat into small pieces. Stir the shredded meat into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and place in a large serving bowl. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat from the sauce and add to the pasta. Pour 1 cup of the sauce over the pasta. Toss well and thin out the pasta with more sauce, if needed. Sprinkle the pasta with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.

Tips:

  • Braising is a great way to tenderize tough cuts of meat, such as short ribs. The low and slow cooking method allows the connective tissue in the meat to break down, resulting in fall-off-the-bone ribs.
  • Be sure to brown the ribs well before braising them. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid. This could be anything from beef broth to red wine. The liquid should cover the ribs by at least two inches.
  • Add vegetables to the braising liquid for extra flavor and nutrition. Carrots, onions, celery, and garlic are all good choices.
  • Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. This could take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the thickness of the ribs.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or pasta.

Conclusion:

Braised short ribs are a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this restaurant-quality dish at home. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give braised short ribs a try.
