Best 10 Pork Rib Ragu Recipes

PORK RAGU

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, then add the carrots, celery, onions and garlic. Stir in the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the vegetables until soft, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute, then add the wine and cook for another minute. Stir in the stock and bring sauce to a simmer. Add the pork and season with a pinch of ground cloves. When the sauce returns to a simmer add the milk and reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce mellow while you bring the water to boil for the pasta or polenta. Sauce may be made ahead and reheated over medium-low heat. Add a splash of stock or water to thin the sauce, if necessary. Serve the sauce tossed with pasta ribbons or atop creamy bowls of polenta and garnish with lots of cheese and parsley.

SHORT RIB RAGù RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

PORK RIB RAGU

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve leek lengthwise and rinse thoroughly; dry well and coarsely chop. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Season ribs with salt and pepper. In batches, cook ribs until browned, 4 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer ribs to a plate. Add leek, carrots, and celery to pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Add wine; bring to a simmer and reduce wine by half.
• Return ribs to pot and cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, cover, then place pot in oven. Cook until meat is falling off bones, about 3 1/2 hours. Transfer ribs to a rimmed baking sheet and strain cooking liquid into a heatproof container; skim fat from liquid. When ribs are cool enough to handle, shred meat (discard fat and bones).
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in flour to coat. Gradually whisk in cooking liquid and simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes. Add pork to sauce and heat through.

PORK RAGU RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until fragrant and the onions are slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and add the wine; bring to a boil. Cook until the wine is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.

COUNTRY STYLE PORK RIB RAGU

Steps:

• Salt and pepper both sides of the country style pork ribs.
• Heat a large braising pan over high heat until it's hot and then add in the clarified butter.
• Sear both sides of the meat and remove from pan. Do this in multiple steps if the meat gets too crowded.
• Do not clean out the pot. The fond that is leftover in the pot will add to the flavoring of the sauce. Add carrots, celery and onions. Cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
• Time to deglaze the pan. Add the red wine. Using a wooded spatula scrape the fond and allow that to meld in with the wine. Bring the wine to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Add in the garlic, rosemary sprigs, tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves and stir.
• This will give you a lot of liquid in your sauce. Time to reduce. Cook at medium-low heat until the sauce has reduced by about one third.
• Add back in the meat that was set aside earlier.
• Allow the dish to come back to a boil and cover the pot and lower the flame and simmer for 3 hours.
• This step is optional but I prefer to do it. Although this adds a considerable amount of time to the recipe. Allow the dish to cool and put in the fridge. Once it cools, put back on stove and using a spoon, skim off as much fat as you can. Put over high heat and bring back to slow bubble.
• Remove the meat from the pan and remove the bones and any hard cartilage parts. Shred the meat with two forks and add back into the dish.
• Now is the time to salt and pepper your dish to taste.
• Sometimes the tomatoes aren't sweet enough by themselves and if you notice too much acidity, add in a little honey, and taste, and add more if needed. If you don't like honey, plain sugar would also help to remove the acidity.
• At this point, what I like to do is to leave it uncovered and leave over medium heat while the sauce continues to bubble and reduce even more. Then I boil my water and make my egg noodles.
• Once egg noodles are done cooking, drain.
• Serve by plating a wide bowl with noodles, spoon the ragu over the noodles, top with shredded pecorino romano cheese and then lastly sprinkle the chopped parsley over the cheese.

RIGATONI WITH PORK RAGù

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a flat work surface with a sheet of parchment paper. Place ribs on the parchment in an even layer. Season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper on both sides. Heat a large roasting pan on top of the stove over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let heat for 1 minute. Put the ribs in the pan and brown on all sides, 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic and let brown, 1-2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Add just enough water to cover the ribs. Transfer to the oven and braise, uncovered, until the meat is tender, 2-2½ hours, checking after 1¼ hours.
• Check the ribs after 1¼ hours. The surface of the roasting pan should be caramelized around the edges, with bubbles of sauce around the ribs. Return to the oven until the ribs are fork tender, another 45 minutes.
• After a total of about 2 hours of cooking, check for doneness. The meat should be tender and pull easily from the bone. Set ribs aside in the roasting pan to cool slightly.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook for 3 minutes less than what's advised on the box. Meanwhile, pull the pork meat from the bones; discard the bones. Toss the meat with the sauce in the roasting pan to make a ragù. Season with salt and pepper. Break up the dried chili and stir into the sauce.
• Assembly: Reserve ¾ cup pasta water. Drain the rigatoni, then return to the pot. Pour reserved pasta water and sauce into the pot. Cook over low heat, gently tossing the rigatoni with the sauce for 1-2 minutes to allow it to "marry"-or absorb-the sauce. The pasta should be al dente. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Transfer to a platter or bowl and serve with freshly grated Pecorino Romano and more dried chilies.

• Cover and lower heat to a simmer. Simmer for three hours or until the meat is very tender.
• Transfer the meat to a separate bowl, remove the bones, and pull apart the meat.
• Return to the pot. Give it a stir so all the meat is coated in the sauce.
• NOTE: Keep warm until ready to serve.

COUNTRY STYLE PORK RIB RAGU

Steps:

• Salt and pepper both sides of the country style pork ribs.
• Heat a large braising pan over high heat until it's hot and then add in the clarified butter.
• Sear both sides of the meat and remove from pan. Do this in multiple steps if the meat gets too crowded.
• Do not clean out the pot. The baked-on stuff on the bottom of the pot is called a "fond. The fond that is leftover in the pot will add to the flavoring of the sauce. Add carrots, celery and onions. Cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
• Time to deglaze the pan (deglazing means to loosen up the fond and dissolve it into the sauce). Add the red wine. Using a wooded spatula scrape the fond and allow that to meld in with the wine. Bring the wine to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Add in the garlic, rosemary sprigs, tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves and stir.
• This will give you a lot of liquid in your sauce. Time to reduce. Cook at high heat until the sauce has reduced by about one third. NOTE: You may want to reduce after you cook the meat. I prefer to keep the meat out of the liquid a little bit so I reduce by one third before putting the meat back in to braise.
• Add meat that was set aside earlier back into the dish.
• Allow the dish to come back to a boil and cover the pot and lower the flame and simmer for 3 hours. Test the meat and if it tears apart easily, then you your dish is ready to remove from the heat.
• NOTE: While braising, use a spoon and scoop out the fat that starts to gather on the top of the liquid. Leaving it in the dish will cause a bad mouth-feel and also not sit well while digesting.
• Remove the meat from the pan and remove the bones and any hard cartilage parts (careful! The meat is hot!). Shred the meat with two forks and add back into the dish.
• Salt and pepper your dish to taste.
• Sometimes the tomatoes aren't sweet enough by themselves and if you notice too much acidity, add in a little honey (or sugar of choice) and taste, add more if needed.
• At this point, what I like to do is to leave it uncovered and leave over medium heat while the sauce continues to bubble and reduce even more. Then I boil my water and make my egg noodles.
• Once egg noodles are done cooking, drain.
• Serve by plating a wide bowl with noodles, spoon the ragu over the noodles, top with shredded pecorino romano cheese and then lastly sprinkle the chopped parsley over the cheese.
