THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S BARBECUED RIBS RECIPE - (3.5/5)

Steps:
- For the marinade, heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 30 minutes. Set aside half of the marinade for serving. (You don't want the sauce you use for dipping the cooked ribs to touch the raw meat.) 2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the ribs on a baking sheet, slather both sides with marinade, and bake for 1 hour. 3. Place the ribs on a charcoal grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until one side is nicely browned. Turn the ribs and close the cover of the grill, making sure the vents are open enough to allow airflow, but not so much that there are flames around the meat. Grill the ribs for 10 more minutes, turning if necessary, until both sides are nicely browned. Place the ribs on a platter, brush with more marinade, and wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice between the ribs, and serve hot with the reserved sauce for dipping.
SCOTT'S SHORT RIBS (BAREFOOT CONTESSA)
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the short ribs on a sheet pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven and add the onion, celery, carrots, fennel, and leek and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour the wine over the vegetables, bring to a boil, and cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Tie the rosemary and thyme together with kitchen twine and add to the pot. Place the roasted ribs on top of the vegetables in the Dutch oven and add the beef stock and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender. Carefully remove the short ribs from the pot and set aside. Discard the herbs and skim the excess fat. Cook the vegetables and sauce over medium heat for 20 minutes, until reduced. Put the ribs back into the pot and heat through. Serve with the vegetables and sauce.

SHORT RIBS BAREFOOT CONTESSA STYLE
These are sooo delicious! I make these the day before you want to eat them...a good thing to do as the flavors marry and you can remove any extra fat easily. Tho not necessary, after oven browning the beef as instructed, I quickly pan sear them to really get that caramelization. I then deglaze the pan with some of the wine and add it to my dutch oven. You may need more wine, use your judgement. Some folks like to remove the veggies at the end, but I leave them in. When you only need a bit of tomato paste like this recipe, I love the tomato paste in a tube, like a toothpaste product, if you can find it, it lasts forever in the fridge. This is adapted from Food Network, Barefoot Contessa. Hope you enjoy!
