Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 lbs short ribs*, bone-in, individually English cut
1 1/2 tbsp coarse salt
2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 yellow onion
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
3-4 cloves garlic
2 tbsp tomato paste, (optional)
1 tbsp flour
18 oz dark ale or lager, (malt forward, with roasty notes such as porter, stout, brown ale, dunkel lager)
2 cups beef stock
2 tbsp dark brown sugar
1 sprig sage
4 sprigs thyme, (more for garnish)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard, (optional, if making gravy)
slurry (1 tbsp corn starch mixed in 2 tbsp cold water), (optional, if making gravy)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 275 F.
  • Clean and rough chop all the veggies and set aside. Pat dry the ribs and liberally season with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Over medium-high heat the cooking oil in a braiser/Dutch oven or large heavy skillet and sear the short ribs for about 1-2 mins on each side. Work in batches so that you do not overcrowd the pan. When nicely browned, remove the short ribs and set aside.
  • Lower the heat to medium, add the veggies, stir them and let them soften for a few minutes. Add the flour and tomato paste (if using) stir and cook for about a minute.
  • Deglaze by adding the beer and be sure to scrape all brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the beef stock, the bay leaves, sage, thyme and stir in the brown sugar. Add the short ribs, distribute evenly and increase heat to bring to boil.
  • Once boiling cover and place in the oven for about 3 hours. The ribs should be very tender before you take them out of the oven.
  • When the short ribs are done, remove them from the braising liquid (carefully, the meat will be very tender) and let them rest for a few minutes. You can then remove the tendons and bones before you serve them.**
  • Use a large, heavy skillet and complete steps #2 thru #5 from the Braiser/Dutch oven method above.
  • Very carefully transfer the braising mixture and the ribs to your slow cooker and cook on low until they reach your desired tenderness.
  • If you want to make a gravy from the braising liquid first scoop out the vegetables and discard them. Using a large spoon skim off and remove as much of the fat floating on top of the liquid. Then strain the braising liquid using a sieve.
  • Heat a pan***over medium heat, add the strained braising liquid and the Dijon mustard and bring to simmer, mix to incorporate, add slurry and stir to thicken.

Tips:

  • To ensure fall-off-the-bone tenderness, choose short ribs with good marbling. Beef chuck roast or pork shoulder are suitable substitutes.
  • For a richer flavor, brown the short ribs in a pan before adding to the stew. This step also helps develop color and caramelization.
  • Use a dark, flavorful beer for the stew, such as a Guinness, stout, or porter. Avoid using light beers as they can make the stew watery.
  • Add vegetables to the stew for extra flavor and nutrition. Common choices include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Season the stew with salt, pepper, garlic, and other herbs and spices to taste. A bay leaf or two can also add depth of flavor.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. The longer you simmer it, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve the stew hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Short rib and beer stew is a hearty, flavorful dish that's perfect for a cold winter night. With its tender meat, rich gravy, and delicious vegetables, this stew is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
