SHORT RIB AND CAULIFLOWER CURRY
Steps:
- Season short ribs, dust with flour, and brown on all sides in olive oil in a large Dutch oven. Remove and set aside as you sauté onion, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. Right before the mixture is browned, add red curry paste. Deglaze bottom of Dutch oven with beer. Add chicken broth and stir (get all those brown bits!). Add back the short ribs (and any juice), cover, and let simmer on very low heat-"warm" setting- on stovetop for 1½ to 2 hours. (You can also braise in 225˚ oven for 2 hours, but I like to roast my veggies during this wait time.)
- Preheat oven to 425°. Cut cauliflower horizontally into about 4 discs, season and lightly coat with olive oil and a curry powder or spice mix of choice, and spread out on a sheet pan. Wash and cube sweet potatos, coat lightly with olive oil, spread out on a second sheet pan. Roast veggies for about 30 minutes while you make the daikon pickles (see below).
- When the short ribs are done, remove them from the Dutch oven, add coconut milk and lime juice, return to simmer, and then strain the sauce into a pitcher. In the Dutch oven, make a quick roux following advice under the Gravy on page 2Slowly stir in the strained broth, and cook until it's gravy.
- To serve: Pour some curry gravy into each bowl, then add discs of roasted caulifl ower, short ribs, more curry gravy, then roasted sweet potato and any loose bits of caulifl ower. Garnish with pickled daikon, cilantro leaf, and lime zest. Serve piping hot to drooling guests, off ering extra gravy on the side.

ROASTED SHORT RIBS WITH CAULIFLOWER AND CELERY
Richly marbled beef ribs beg for something crisp and refreshing to go alongside. If celery's not your fave, try swapping it for any type of radish, escarole, or a tart apple.

Steps:
- For the short ribs:
- Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 275°F. Slice garlic, sprinkle with salt, and mash to a paste on a cutting board using the side of a chef's knife; place in a small bowl. Mix in rosemary, oil, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes.
- Season ribs generously with salt and pepper and place in a medium cast-iron skillet. Coat all over with garlic paste and cover skillet tightly with foil. Cook on upper rack in oven, checking for doneness after 1 1/2 hours, until meat is fork-tender and falling off the bone, 2 1/2-3 hours. Remove from oven.
- For the cauliflower purée:
- Meanwhile, place cauliflower in a small baking dish. Rub all over with oil; season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and place in oven next to ribs. Bake until cauliflower is very easily pierced with a paring knife, 1 1/2-2 1/2 hours.
- Transfer hot cauliflower to a blender and add cream. Blend until very smooth; season with salt and pepper. Place in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
- For the salad and assembly:
- While the ribs and cauliflower are cooking, scatter hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast on bottom rack, tossing once, until golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Let cool, then rub together in a kitchen towel to remove skins, if using skin-on nuts. Coarsely chop and set aside.
- Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Uncover ribs and return to oven, placing on top rack. Roast, basting with fat from skillet every couple of minutes, until a deep brown crust develops, 12-15 minutes.
- Toss celery, celery leaves, parsley, and reserved hazelnuts in a medium bowl to combine. Drizzle with oil and vinegar and toss to coat; season celery salad with salt and pepper.
- Serve short ribs over cauliflower purée with celery salad on top.

Steps:
- Place a rack in middle of the oven; preheat to 250°F. Spread out coconut flakes on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden, 10-15 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, season beef generously with salt and set aside. Trim top three-quarters from lemongrass stalks and place top portions in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy roasting pan. Peel outer layers from root end and finely grate into a blender. Add shallot, garlic, chiles, ginger, coconut milk, and curry powder; purée until smooth.
- Arrange short ribs, bone side up, in skillet; pour purée over. Roast until meat is halfway to tender and liquid is reduced by two-thirds (it will look slightly oily and broken, and this is exactly what you want), 3-3 1/2 hours. Turn ribs onto their sides and continue to roast, adding water by 1/4-cupfuls if liquid in skillet looks in danger of burning or getting very dark, until meat is fork-tender and liquid is a jammy glaze, 2-2 1/2 hours longer.
- Toss coconut, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Top short ribs with gremolata and serve with rice.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to the curry, such as carrots, potatoes, or bell peppers. You can also add a handful of greens, such as spinach or kale, at the end of cooking.
- If you don't have any short ribs on hand, you can substitute another type of beef, such as chuck roast or flank steak. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- If you prefer a thicker curry, you can add a cornstarch slurry at the end of cooking. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the curry and cook until thickened.
- Serve the curry over rice or with naan bread. You can also garnish it with fresh cilantro or yogurt.
Conclusion:
This short rib and cauliflower curry is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold night. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the cauliflower adds a nice sweetness to the curry. The curry is also relatively easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this short rib and cauliflower curry a try.
