CURRY BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE
This is one of my main stand ins during winter months when I crave slow cooked flavors of beef. Horseradish and hint of curry may sound strange, but these two flavors go extremely well together. This recipe is not a beef curry recipe. Instead, a small amount of curry is used as a backdrop flavoring only....just a hint of curry and not meant as a curry dish. I love this simple rustic dish. It is a bit Asian and mostly Western inspired. Do not use Asian/Korean style thin beef short ribs used mainly for quick grilling. Although other cuts of beef will work (cubed), beef short ribs is best for this recipe. This recipe will work really well in crock pot too.

BIG BROWN BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH HORSERADISH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Season the ribs generously with salt. Coat a large wide pan with olive oil and bring to high heat. Add the ribs to the pan and brown very well on all sides-this is an EXTREMELY important step in the development of big brown flavors. It may take up to 20 minutes-don't rush it!
- While the ribs are browning, put the onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor and purée to a coarse paste; set aside.
- When the ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Ditch the fat, add a bit of fresh olive oil, and add the puréed veggies to the pan. Season generously with salt and cook over medium-high heat until the veggies are very brown and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, 8 to 10 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Don't rush this step.
- Add the tomato paste and prepared horseradish and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the wine, bring it to a boil (BTB), and stir frequently to scrape the crud from the bottom of the pan (this is the big-money flavor). Continue cooking until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Return the ribs to the pan and add enough water to barely cover the meat. Toss in the bay leaves and thyme bundle, cover the pan with aluminum foil, and cook in the oven for 2 1/2 hours. Check the ribs every 45 minutes to make sure they are still covered in liquid; if the liquid has reduced too much, add more water. Turn the ribs after about 1 hour and continue cooking.
- Remove the foil during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When the meat is done it should be very tender but not falling apart. To serve, remove the bay leaves and thyme bundle and spoon the sauce over the ribs and sprinkle with the chives and freshly grated horseradish for an extra kick.
Tips:
- Sear the beef short ribs well. This will help to develop a rich, flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
- Use a good quality red wine for the braising liquid. A full-bodied wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add depth of flavor to the dish.
- Let the beef short ribs braise for at least 2 hours, or until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. The longer you braise them, the more flavorful they will be.
- Serve the daube of beef short ribs with a creamy horseradish potato puree. The tangy horseradish will help to balance out the richness of the beef short ribs.
Conclusion:
Daube of beef short ribs is a classic French dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The beef short ribs are braised in a rich red wine sauce until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. They are then served with a creamy horseradish potato puree. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
