CHILE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large dried New Mexico chile peppers, stemmed, seeded and torn into pieces
1 cup boiling water
5 pounds meaty English-style center-cut short ribs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups low-sodium chicken stock
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 large onion, chopped
One 750-milliliter bottle hard cider
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Adjust the rack to the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Add the chiles to a medium bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let steep for 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the short ribs generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just under smoking hot. Add the short ribs in batches, leaving some room between each of them so they sear evenly, and cook until well browned, about 7 minutes per side (14 to 15 minutes per batch). Remove the short ribs to a platter in a single layer (no stacking) and repeat with the second batch.
  • Meanwhile, add the chile peppers with water, chicken stock, tomato paste, garlic, onions and a dash of salt to a blender, and mix until blended together.
  • Once the second batch of meat is seared, remove and set aside. Add the hard cider to the Dutch oven and scrape the brown bits left from the meat off the bottom of the pot. Pour the onion mixture into the pot and turn the heat up to high. Add the balsamic and rosemary sprigs and boil together for 2 to 3 minutes. Return the short ribs and any juice that may have accumulated on the platter back into the pot. Cover tightly with a lid and braise in the oven until the ribs are tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Place the ribs on a platter covered with foil to keep warm. Put the Dutch oven on the stovetop over high heat and reduce the braising liquid until thick and saucy, 20 minutes. Add the ribs back to the pot before serving to coat with the reduced liquid. Place the ribs on plates and ladle the sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.

TANGY BRAISED SHORT RIBS



Tangy Braised Short Ribs image

This bright, sweet and salty recipe for braised short ribs will work with bone-in or boneless meat, as long as the short ribs are thick (at least 1 1/2 inch), and not the thinly sliced Korean style. Seasoning your meat with salt and pepper at least 24 hours in advance will greatly improve the flavor of the finished product. And, if you can spare an extra 24, making them a day ahead of serving will make them even better, with all that braising liquid flavoring the meat as it sits. Finishing with herbs and lemon are hardly a revelation in the braised meat department, but they are especially welcome here. The fresh lemon juice at the end transforms the braising liquid into a bright, brothy, spoonable sauce good enough to drink.

Categories     meat, main course

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 pounds bone-in short ribs, at least 1 1/2-inch thick, cut into single bone portions (or 3 1/2 to 4 pounds boneless, at least 1 1/2-inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
2 large yellow onions, quartered
2 heads garlic, halved crosswise
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce or tamari
4 cups chicken, beef or vegetable broth
4 thyme sprigs
2 cups parsley, leaves and tender stems, finely chopped
1/2 bunch chives, finely chopped
Flaky sea salt
3 lemons, halved, for juicing

Steps:

  • Season short ribs with salt and pepper at least 1 hour (at room temperature) and as much as 48 hours (covered and refrigerated) in advance.
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Working in batches, sear short ribs until deeply golden brown on both large flat sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer short ribs to a large plate or cutting board and drain all but about 2 tablespoons fat from the pot. Discard remaining fat. Repeat with remaining short ribs. Drain all fat from the pot and carefully wipe out. (No need to wash, just get rid of any scorched bits.)
  • In the same pot over medium-high, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and garlic get a bit of color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add honey and cook, stirring until it starts to bubble furiously, turning a darker amber brown and sticking to the bottom of the pot as it cooks.
  • Add vinegar and soy sauce, and, using a wooden spoon or spatula, scrape up the bits on the bottom of the pot. Bring to a strong simmer and cook to reduce by about half, 5 to 8 minutes. Add broth and thyme, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper and add short ribs back in, bone-side up, making sure they are as submerged in that braising liquid as possible. Cover the pot and place in the oven. Do not look at it or remove the lid for 3 hours. (Nothing bad will happen, promise.)
  • After 3 hours, check the short ribs, they should be extremely tender and nearly falling apart, almost having the jiggly texture of a baked custard or Jell-O. (If not, continue roasting another 20 to 30 minutes.) Remove from oven.
  • At this stage, you can remove the lid and using a spoon, carefully skim as much of the top layer of fat as possible. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees, and return the pot to the oven, uncovered, to let the short ribs brown a bit on top and thicken the braising liquid a bit, another 35 to 45 minutes. (Alternatively, you can remove the short ribs from the oven, let them cool at room temperature and place in them in the fridge, overnight. When ready to serve, remove them from the fridge and using a spoon, scrape off the solidified fat on the top layer. Return the short ribs, covered, to a 325-degree oven until totally warmed through, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the lid and increase temperature to 425 degrees, and continue to cook, uncovered, to let the short ribs brown a bit on top and reduce the braising liquid, another 35 to 45 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, combine parsley and chives in a small bowl and season with flaky salt.
  • Remove the short ribs from the oven and serve straight from the pot or transfer them to a shallow bowl or plate with high sides, spooning the braising liquid over. Squeeze lemons over, letting the juice season the braising liquid. Sprinkle with parsley mixture before serving.

CHILI-BRAISED BONELESS SHORT RIBS



Chili-Braised Boneless Short Ribs image

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 10-ounce cans enchilada sauce
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
4 large garlic cloves, minced
3 pounds boneless beef short ribs
3 green onions, sliced

Steps:

  • Combine first 4 ingredients in 9x13-inch baking dish. Add beef and turn to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate 5 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Turn beef ribs. Cover with foil and bake until meat is very tender when pierced with fork, turning occasionally, about 2 hours. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: For this recipe, boneless short ribs are ideal as they are flavorful and tender when cooked slowly in the braising liquid.
  • Brown the Ribs Well: Browning the ribs before braising adds depth of flavor to the dish. Make sure to brown them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a Quality Chianti Wine: The type of Chianti wine you use will greatly influence the flavor of the dish, so opt for a bottle that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Simmer Low and Slow: The key to fall-off-the-bone tender ribs is to braise them low and slow. Simmer the ribs for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is easily pierced with a fork.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the ribs and braising liquid generously with salt, pepper, and herbs. This will help develop a rich and flavorful sauce.
  • Serve with Creamy Polenta: Creamy polenta is a classic accompaniment to braised short ribs, as it soaks up the delicious sauce and provides a creamy contrast to the richness of the meat.

Conclusion:

Chianti braised boneless short ribs is a delectable dish that combines the bold flavors of red wine, herbs, and tender beef. By following these tips and the detailed recipe instructions, you can create a restaurant-worthy meal at home that is sure to impress your family and friends.
