Number Of Ingredients 15

6 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, cut into 2-in. pieces*
About 2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
About 1 tsp. black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3 pounds kabocha squash (1 small), seeded, cut into 2-in. wedges, and peeled*
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1/3 cup flour
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons Dutch-processed bittersweet cocoa powder or 1 square (1 oz.) bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons minced candied ginger
1 tablespoon finely shredded orange zest
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 500°. Dry short ribs on paper towels and sprinkle with 1 tsp. each salt and pepper. In a large, heavy ovenproof pot, heat 1 tbsp. oil over medium-high heat. In 4 batches, brown ribs all over. Transfer to a bowl. 2. Cut squash wedges crosswise, put on a baking sheet, and toss with remaining oil. Roast until caramelized, 10 minutes. Remove from oven and lower heat to 300°. 3. Add onions and remaining 1 tsp. salt to pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cocoa; cook 1 minute. Stir in broth and brandy. Add dried cranberries, ginger, and orange zest and bring mixture to a boil. Return short ribs to pot, cover, and bake 2 1/2 hours. 4. Remove pot from oven and spoon off fat. (Or chill overnight before skimming; return to a simmer before continuing.) Stir in fresh cranberries and kabocha. Cover and bake until kabocha is tender and meat pulls away from the bone, about 30 minutes. *Ask your butcher to cut the short ribs. To make squash easier to cut and peel, poke it all over with a fork, then microwave 2 to 3 minutes.

ROY CHOI'S BRAISED SHORT-RIB STEW



Roy Choi's Braised Short-Rib Stew image

Here is an adaptation of the Korean braised-short-rib stew known as galbijjim, a staple of neighborhood potlucks and church suppers and, in the words of the Los Angeles chef Roy Choi, "that meal from home that every Korean kid says his or her mom does best." His recipe (well, my version of his recipe, which is his version of his mom's) is rich and deeply flavored, thickly sauced and pungent with sugar, spice, soy and garlic. It is the sort of meal you could put together on a weekend afternoon and serve for nights to come. It is the best sort of family food.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, main course

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds bone-in short ribs
1 small bunch scallions, trimmed and roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh ginger
1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
1/2 cup garlic cloves, peeled (about 2 heads)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup mirin
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems reserved for another use, halved or quartered if large
1 cup jarred, peeled chestnuts
1 cup taro, peeled and cut into large dice (about a 3-inch segment)
1 cup carrots, peeled and cut into large dice (about 2 carrots)
1 cup butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about half a squash)

Steps:

  • Put short ribs in a bowl, and cover with water. Drain, and discard water. Repeat twice. Remove short ribs from bowl, and score them diagonally across the top of the meat. Return ribs to the bowl, and rinse again. Remove, and pat dry.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine scallions, soy sauce, ginger, onion, garlic, sugar, mirin, orange juice and apple juice, then pulse to purée. Add a little water if you need to thin out the sauce so it combines.
  • Put puréed sauce in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with a lid, add 3 cups water and stir to combine. Bring pot to a boil over high heat, then add the ribs to the pot and lower heat to a simmer. Cover pot.
  • Cook ribs over low for at least 2 hours. Add vegetables, cover and simmer, 30 minutes more or so, until meat is tender and vegetables are cooked through. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Sear the short ribs: Searing the short ribs before braising them adds a delicious depth of flavor. Make sure to sear them in a hot skillet until they are browned on all sides.
  • Use a good quality braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will flavor the short ribs, so it's important to use a good quality one. A good option is a combination of red wine, beef broth, and cranberry juice.
  • Cook the short ribs low and slow: Short ribs are a tough cut of meat, so they need to be cooked low and slow in order to become tender. Braise them for at least 2 hours, or until they are fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Add the cranberries at the end: Cranberries are a delicious addition to this stew, but they can become mushy if they are cooked for too long. Add them to the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or rice: This stew is delicious served with mashed potatoes or rice. The mashed potatoes or rice will help to soak up the delicious braising liquid.

Conclusion:

This brandied cranberry short rib stew is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The short ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and the cranberries add a delicious tartness to the stew. This stew is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
