Number Of Ingredients 13

8 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 yellow onions, chopped
3 cups tomato sauce
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup seeded and finely chopped Jalapeno peppers
3 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons dry mustard
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups beer
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Put short ribs in large baking pans that will hold them in one layer (around 2 pans). Sprinkle onions around ribs. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, Jalapeno pepper, garlic, mustard, cayenne pepper, cloves and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for around 10 minutes, or until sauce is slightly thickened.
  • Stir in beer. Pour sauce over ribs, cover pans and bake until meat is very tender, around 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove ribs from pan to a serving platter (keep warm if possible). Spoon some sauce (including pan juices) over the ribs, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve immediately, passing additional sauce on the side.

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 pounds bone-in short ribs (about 2 inches thick)
3/4 cup apple butter
1/4 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup ketchup
1 cup apple cider
3 carrots, thinly sliced
5 scallions (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced
Cornbread, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, brown sugar, chile powder, garlic, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle all over the short ribs and rub into the meat. Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle any of the remaining flour mixture on top.
  • Whisk the apple butter, mustard, ketchup and cider in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until very hot, then transfer to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high, 4 hours.
  • Using tongs, turn the ribs in the sauce to coat, then remove to a bowl. Skim off the fat from the sauce (there will be quite a bit), then return the ribs to the sauce and add the carrots and scallions. Cover and cook on high, 2 more hours. Serve with cornbread.

SPICY BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH POLENTA



Spicy Braised Short Ribs with Polenta image

For a hearty, warming dinner, it's hard to beat braised short ribs in a spicy arrabbiata. The sauce's chiles and tomatoes tenderize and flavor the meat, while red wine and mushrooms round out the dish. Creamy, cheesy polenta is the ideal accompaniment--sopping up the delicious juices and tempering some of the heat.

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons olive oil
6 beef short ribs (about 4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 medium carrot, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 cups dry red wine
One 24-ounce jar arrabbiata sauce, such as Rao's Homemade® Arrabbiata Sauce
Crushed red pepper, as desired, optional
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water
1 1/2 cups stone-ground cornmeal
Kosher salt
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • For the short ribs: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs generously with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot and brown on all sides until golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the mushrooms to the drippings in the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and all the water has cooked out, about 8 minutes. Add half the garlic and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are crisp and golden and the garlic is softened, about 3 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl; set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, add the carrot, onion, rosemary and remaining garlic to the pot and cook, stirring often and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, until the onions and carrots are softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Stir in the arrabbiata sauce and 2 cups water and return the short ribs to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the meat is fork-tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the meat from the sauce and transfer to a plate. Set the sauce aside to let the braising liquid and fat separate, about 10 minutes, then skim off and discard the fat. Discard the rosemary sprig, stir in the reserved mushrooms and add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer it spicier, add crushed red pepper as well. Return the short ribs to the sauce and keep warm over low heat.
  • For the polenta: Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. While whisking constantly, slowly pour the cornmeal into the hot liquid. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the cornmeal is creamy and no longer grainy, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan and butter.
  • Divide the polenta among 6 shallow bowls and top each with a short rib and some sauce. Sprinkle with the parsley.

CARIBBEAN BEEF SHORT RIBS



Caribbean Beef Short Ribs image

This is a fantastic change of pace from a typical slow-cooker stew. Its combination of flavors-short ribs, rum and fruit- makes it feel like an exotic Caribbean dish. Make sure to leave the mangoes and pineapple on top of the beef, instead of stirring them in, so that their color will stay bright yellow. When removing the mixture from the slow cooker, take out the fruit first and place in a separate bowl from the meat to avoid coating them with the with brown sauce. I like to also serve it with rice.-Loanne Chiu, Fort Worth, Texas

ROY CHOI'S BRAISED SHORT-RIB STEW



Roy Choi's Braised Short-Rib Stew image

Here is an adaptation of the Korean braised-short-rib stew known as galbijjim, a staple of neighborhood potlucks and church suppers and, in the words of the Los Angeles chef Roy Choi, "that meal from home that every Korean kid says his or her mom does best." His recipe (well, my version of his recipe, which is his version of his mom's) is rich and deeply flavored, thickly sauced and pungent with sugar, spice, soy and garlic. It is the sort of meal you could put together on a weekend afternoon and serve for nights to come. It is the best sort of family food.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds bone-in short ribs
1 small bunch scallions, trimmed and roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh ginger
1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
1/2 cup garlic cloves, peeled (about 2 heads)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup mirin
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems reserved for another use, halved or quartered if large
1 cup jarred, peeled chestnuts
1 cup taro, peeled and cut into large dice (about a 3-inch segment)
1 cup carrots, peeled and cut into large dice (about 2 carrots)
1 cup butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about half a squash)

Steps:

  • Put short ribs in a bowl, and cover with water. Drain, and discard water. Repeat twice. Remove short ribs from bowl, and score them diagonally across the top of the meat. Return ribs to the bowl, and rinse again. Remove, and pat dry.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine scallions, soy sauce, ginger, onion, garlic, sugar, mirin, orange juice and apple juice, then pulse to purée. Add a little water if you need to thin out the sauce so it combines.
  • Put puréed sauce in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with a lid, add 3 cups water and stir to combine. Bring pot to a boil over high heat, then add the ribs to the pot and lower heat to a simmer. Cover pot.
  • Cook ribs over low for at least 2 hours. Add vegetables, cover and simmer, 30 minutes more or so, until meat is tender and vegetables are cooked through. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For fall-off-the-bone short ribs, cook them low and slow. Braising or stewing the ribs for at least 2 hours will help them become tender and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the short ribs. Common spices used in Korean cuisine include gochujang (Korean chili paste), gochugaru (Korean chili powder), garlic, ginger, and green onions. You can also add other spices to taste, such as cumin, coriander, or paprika.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in the stew. Common vegetables used in Korean short rib stew include potatoes, carrots, onions, and mushrooms. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach.
  • Serve the short rib stew with rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce and make the meal more filling.

Conclusion:

Spicy short rib stew is a delicious and hearty Korean dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its tender meat, flavorful sauce, and variety of vegetables, this stew is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful meal, give this spicy short rib stew a try.
