RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH CARROTS
Everyone loves beef short ribs. Because the meat is well-marbled, a couple of hours' slow cooking keeps it incredibly succulent. This homely combination of beef with carrot, cooked rather plainly, is classic in traditional French cooking, and produces truly delicious results. Like all other braises, this one improves if made a day (or two) in advance of serving, though you can certainly make it all in one go if you wish. Cooking it ahead accomplishes a number of things, not least of which is that it needs only reheating to serve. Another is that refrigerating the braise in its juices always seems to intensify the flavors. Yet one more reason: It is easier to remove the fat on the surface of the liquid when it is cold, rather than trying to skim it from the surface hot.

Steps:
- Season each rib generously all over with salt and pepper. If time permits, set aside for an hour to let seasoning penetrate meat.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add olive oil just to film the bottom. Working in batches so as not to crowd pan, brown a few short ribs at a time on both meaty sides. Reduce heat as necessary to achieve browning gradually; it may take 4 to 5 minutes per side for well-browned ribs. This will guarantee a dark, rich color for the sauce. Transfer ribs to a Dutch oven or deep, wide baking dish. Leave skillet on the heat.
- Use a clove to pin a bay leaf to the rounded side of each onion half. Set the onion cut side down in the skillet and let cut side brown for a minute or two. Transfer onion to pot with ribs.
- Add tomato paste and wine to skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to dissolve all of the flavorful brown bits, then pour wine mixture over ribs.
- Add broth to Dutch oven, cover and bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until meat is very tender when probed. Remove from heat, uncover and skim fat from surface. (See note.)
- Fill a large saucepan with well-salted water and bring to a boil. Add carrots and simmer until done, but not too soft, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain carrots, reserving 1/2 cup of cooking water.
- Return saucepan to stove over medium-high heat and add butter. Add leeks, season with salt, and cook, stirring, until barely softened. Add carrots and reserved cooking water. Gently combine, turn off heat and cover for 5 minutes.
- Carefully transfer short ribs to a large, deep serving platter. Bring braising juices to a boil over high heat. If you wish to thicken the sauce lightly, add potato starch mixture and cook 1 minute more. Ladle sauce over ribs.
- Transfer carrot and leek mixture, along with buttery juices, to a serving dish. Sprinkle carrots and ribs with parsley and chives and serve.
RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the short ribs on a sheet pan, brush the tops with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Roast for 20 minutes and remove from the oven. Reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large (12-inch) Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, over medium heat. Add the leeks, celery, onions, and carrots and cook over medium to medium-high heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the liquid is reduced. Add the stock, tomatoes, Guinness, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
- Place the ribs in the pot, along with the juices and seasonings from the sheet pan. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook in the oven for one hour. Uncover and cook for one more hour, until the meat is very tender.
- Remove the short ribs to a plate with a slotted spoon and discard the thyme bundle and any bones that have separated from the meat. Simmer the sauce on the stove for 20 minutes, until reduced. Skim some of the fat off the top and discard. Return the ribs to the pot, heat for 5 minutes, and taste for seasonings. Serve hot in shallow bowls, with a toasted baguette and extra sauce on the side.
GARLIC BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE
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.

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.
RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIB STEW WITH POTATOES, CARROTS, AND MUSHROOMS
If you haven't noticed by now, we love braising. This stew wraps itself around your soul and squeezes ever so gently. And while it truly embodies the concept of a one-pot meal, we do like to roast the vegetables separately so they retain their individual flavor, creating even greater depth of flavor.

Steps:
- Prepare the short ribs: In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the ghee or olive oil.
- Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season with the sea salt. Gently place the short ribs in the hot ghee or oil and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, turning as needed and searing in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pot. Transfer to a plate.
- To the same pot, add the onion, carrot and celery and cook until the veggies begin to brown, stirring as needed to avoid burning, about 5 minutes.
- Add the wine and deglaze the pot, scraping the browned bits loose from the bottom of the pot. Add the thyme and garlic and bring to a simmer. Let the wine reduce by half, about 10 minutes, then remove the pot form the heat.
- Place the browned short ribs into the wine reduction along with the bone broth and let marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can prepare this dish in advance by letting the ribs marinate for a full 24 hours-well worth it in our opinion.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Remove the pot from the refrigerator, cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and transfer to the oven to braise for 2 1/2 hours.
- At the 2 hour mark, when 30 minutes remain on the cooking time for the short ribs, prepare the vegetables: On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms with the ghee or oil and sea salt. Spread out in and even layer and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are knife-tender.
- Remove the pot with the short ribs from the oven, uncover, and transfer the meat to a plate. Strain the braising liquid into a deep serving dish; discard the solids from the liquid. Add the roasted veggies to the serving dish and stir to distribute evenly. Using your hands or a fork, break the short ribs into chunks and stir in as well. Garnish with a little chopped fresh parsley and serve family style.
- The stew or any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 6 months.

Steps:
- For the breadcrumbs: Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then remove to a bowl. Add the parsley, lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl, then toss to combine. Set aside and allow to cool, then cover until ready to use.
- For the short ribs and carrots: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Return the pot used for the breadcrumbs to the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 4 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the short ribs and sear on all sides, about 45 seconds per side. Remove to a plate. Add the tomato paste, carrots, garlic and onion. Stir and allow the tomato paste to cook for a minute. Pour in the beef stock and add the short ribs back to the pot; add the rosemary and bay leaves. Cover and place in the oven. Cook until the ribs are fork-tender and falling off the bone, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
- Remove the carrots to a platter and use the back of a fork to mash them. Place the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over the top, followed by the short ribs. Skim the fat from the braising liquid and transfer the liquid it to a server. Garnish with the buttery panko breadcrumbs and serve.
DELICIOUS BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE GRAVY AND VEGETABLES
Since I make this without really measuring, I cannot really list the exact amounts that I use, the amounts stated are as close as it gets to what I use when I make this, as long as you do use a minimum of 2 cups red wine all other ingredients really don't have to be exact. I also use this to make shanks and pot roast. Since me family loves spicy, I always add in red pepper flakes, but that is optional. I serve this with hot cooked pasta. If you are making a pot roast with this recipe you will have to adjust the cooking time, coat the roast in seasoned flour and brown on all sides, then continue with the recipe as stated. The short ribs are cooked on top of the stove, but you also can cook it in the oven if desired. Add in some small fresh button mushrooms too!

Steps:
- Liberally season the short ribs on all sides with 1 tablespoon of salt and the pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a 5-quart (5 liter) ceramic pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, add 6-7 pieces of short rib at a time to the pot and sear without disturbing for 2-3 minutes, until a golden brown crust forms. Turn the pieces and continue cooking until seared well on all sides. Remove the short ribs from the pan and set aside, adding another tablespoon of avocado oil to the pot if needed, and repeat with the remaining short ribs.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, celery, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften and release moisture.
- Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables, then cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and stir to coat the vegetables, then cook for 2-3 minutes more, until deep red in color. Pour in the wine and stir to release any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Nestle the short ribs on top of the vegetables in the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half, 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C).
- Nestle the garlic between the short ribs, then place the carrots and thyme sprigs on top. Pour in the beef stock.
- Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake for 2½ hours, until the meat is falling off the bone and fork tender.
- While the short ribs are in the oven, make the cauliflower mash: Fill a medium pot with about an inch of water and set a steamer basket inside. Cover and bring the water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower to the basket and steam for 12-15 minutes, until mashable with the back of a fork, but not overcooked.
- Working in batches, transfer the steamed cauliflower to a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Using another bowl that is slightly smaller than the strainer, press the bowl into the cauliflower to press excess liquid from the cauliflower. Repeat with remaining cauliflower. Discard the liquid and set the cauliflower aside.
- Add the cashews to the bowl of a food processor. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until the cashews are completely broken down and can be mashed into a paste between your fingers, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Add the strained cauliflower, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined with the cashew paste.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.
- Serve the braised short ribs and carrots with the cauliflower mash and garnish with parsley.
- Enjoy!
