Provided by Robby Melvin

Time 16h30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 Fresno chiles, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1.5 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.25 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
5 cloves garlic, chopped, divided
8 bone-in beef short ribs (4 to 5 lb.)
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
1.75 cups dry red wine
1 14.5-oz. can whole, peeled tomatoes, drained
3 ribs celery, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped (about 1½ cups)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 1½ cups)
0.5 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
0.5 cup chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons lemon zest

Steps:

  • Stir together chiles, salt, paprika, oregano, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, ¼ cup of the oil, and half the garlic in a medium bowl. Rub ribs all over with chile mixture; cover and chill 12 to 24 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Let ribs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan and cook until reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium. Working in batches, add ribs and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side; transfer ribs to a platter. Remove pot from heat, discard drippings, and wipe clean.
  • Pour wine into pot and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Add reduced broth and stir to combine. Add ribs to pot along with tomatoes, celery, carrots, and onion. Return to a boil, cover, and transfer to oven.
  • Braise until meat is very tender and easily pulls away from the bone, 3 to 3½ hours.
  • Meanwhile, stir together parsley, mint, lemon zest, and remaining half of garlic in a small bowl.
  • Transfer ribs to a serving platter and tent with foil. Skim fat from cooking liquid and discard. Strain braising liquid and discard solids. Serve ribs with sauce, topped with parsley mixture.

World-renowned chef Geoffrey Zakarian shares a recipe for Spiced Short Ribs from his cookbook, "Town/Country."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 white onions, cut into eighths
4 medium carrots, cut into thick slices
2 large leeks, washed thoroughly and cut into thick slices
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
4 heads garlic, halved crosswise
3 1/2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
1 bunch thyme (about 12 sprigs)
8 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 fresh bay leaves
6 thick, center-cut short ribs (3/4 pound each), bone-in
3 teaspoons celery salt
3 tablespoons Aleppo pepper flakes, or other hot red pepper
4 allspice berries
4 1/2 teaspoons cumin seed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Geoffrey Zakarian's Mashed Potatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven large enough to hold the ribs in a single layer, over medium heat. When oil is hot, add onions, carrots, leeks, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Add garlic, 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, peppercorns, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Using kitchen twine, tie meat on each rib securely to the bone. Season the short ribs with 1 teaspoon salt and add them to the Dutch oven. Add enough water to the pan to just cover the ribs and bring to a simmer. Transfer pan to the oven. Simmer ribs, turning them every 30 minutes until very tender, about 2 hours. Remove pan from oven and allow ribs to cool in their liquid. Strain to remove vegetables, cover, and refrigerate, with meat still in its liquid, overnight.
  • Grind together remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons coriander seeds with celery salt, Aleppo pepper flakes, allspice, and cumin in a spice grinder or mortar. Transfer spice mixture in a shallow dish; set aside.
  • Remove meat mixture from refrigerator; skim and discard any accumulated fat from the surface. Remove short ribs from liquid. Transfer liquid to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
  • Cut meat from bones. Pat meat dry with a paper towel, then trim off any excess fat or cartilage. Slice meat across the grain into 3/8-inch-thick medallions. Dredge each slice in spice mixture. Place remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season meat with 1/2 teaspoon salt. When oil is hot, add meat to pan. Brown meat for 1 to 2 minutes and turn; add butter. Continue browning meat, basting regularly with butter. Transfer meat to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, then arrange on warmed serving plates. Serve each with mashed potatoes and 1 to 2 tablespoons of the reduced braising liquid.
