Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 pounds individual short ribs (not cross-cut flanken)
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
12 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups hearty red wine, such as Zinfandel or Shiraz
1 3/4 cups beef stock, preferably homemade, or reduced-sodium chicken broth
One 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, drained
1 bay leaf
8 ounces baby-cut carrots
1/2 cup Mediterranean black olives, such as Niçoise, pitted
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300°F.
  • 2. Heat the oil in a large (at least 6-quart) Dutch oven or flameproof casserole over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with the salt and pepper. In batches, without crowding, add the short ribs to the pot and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the ribs to a platter.
  • 3. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pot. Add the onion, chopped carrot, and celery to the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, herbes de Provence, and flour and stir until the garlic gives off its aroma, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the broth, tomatoes, and bay leaf. Return the short ribs, and any juices, to the pot. Add cold water as needed to barely reach the top of the ribs and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • 4. Cover tightly, transfer to the oven, and bake, stirring occasionally to change the position of the ribs, until the meat is falling-off-the-bone tender, about 2 1/2 hours. During the last 15 minutes, add the baby carrots.
  • 5. Transfer the short ribs to a deep serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Skim off the fat from the surface of the cooking liquid, and discard the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the liquid is reduced to a sauce consistency, about 10 minutes (the exact time depends on the size of the pot). Add the olives and cook to heat them through, about 3 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • 6. Spoon the sauce with the carrots over the ribs, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve hot.

SHORT RIBS PROVENCALE



Short Ribs Provencale image

Very simple to make, and absolutely delicious, everyone raves about it and always wants the recipe! I highly suggest to make 2 days ahead (or at least 1 day) as the flavors only get better with time, plus you may want to skim off the excess fat, so plan ahead. This also makes it perfect for a do-ahead dinner. I use half beef broth, half chicken broth for more depth. Any good red wine will do, the additional 1/2 cup of broth may not be necessary, use your judgement. Reducing the sauce down after removing the solids enriches the flavors, add a bit more salt and reduce for about 45 minutes before serving. I have also used a boneless chuck roast, cutting it up into approx. 12 to 14 large chunks. (the size of a short rib). This is less expensive and there is less fat, more meat, but we still like the short rib method! I also urge very strongly to serve with your favorite mashed potato recipe, the sauce is to die for! This is adapted from Bon Appetit, Jan. 2002.

Tips for Making the Best Short Ribs Provençale with Crème Fraîche Mashed Potatoes

  • Choose high-quality short ribs. Look for ribs that are well-marbled with fat, as this will help them stay moist during cooking.
  • Brown the short ribs well before braising them. This will help to develop their flavor.
  • Use a good quality red wine for the braising liquid. A full-bodied wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add rich flavor to the dish.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to the braising liquid. This will help to add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
  • Cook the short ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. This will take at least 2 hours, but it is worth the wait.
  • Make the crème fraîche mashed potatoes while the short ribs are braising. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the short ribs Provençale with the crème fraîche mashed potatoes and a glass of red wine.

Conclusion

Short ribs Provençale with crème fraîche mashed potatoes is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The short ribs are braised in a flavorful red wine sauce until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, and the crème fraîche mashed potatoes are creamy and rich. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
