Best 9 Winter Short Rib Stew Recipes

WINTER SHORT-RIB STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500°F with a rack in the center.
• Place the short ribs in one layer in a medium roasting pan and roast for 25 minutes. Turn the pieces, add the garlic, and roast for 15 minutes more.
• Put the ribs into a tall, narrow stockpot. Spoon off the fat from the roasting pan and pour any juices over the bones.
• Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over medium heat and add ½ cups water. Bring to a boil, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour this liquid over the bones.
• Add the tomatoes, 2 cups water, the bay leaf, two pieces of the orange zest, and the lemon zest. Cover the stockpot and bring to a boil. Uncover, lower the heat, and simmer for 40 minutes.
• Stir in the green beans and 2 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes, occasionally poking the beans down into the liquid. Add 2 teaspoons of the salt and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Skim the fat. Add the fennel and the herbs. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the remaining salt, the lima beans, chickpeas, remaining two strips of orange zest, and 2 cups water.
• Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. The meat should be falling off the bones. Season with pepper to taste.
• Remove the meat and the bones from the stockpot. Place two pieces of meat (with or without the bones) in each of six bowls and divide the vegetables and liquid evenly over them.

QUICK SHORT RIB STEW

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1/2 cup of flour in a heavy plastic bag or large bowl; add the ribs and toss until completely coated. Pour the oil into the preheated pan, heat until shimmering. Shake any excess flour off of the ribs, then add them to the hot oil. Brown well on all sides without burning, about 10 minutes.
• While the ribs are browning, stir together the hot water and bouillon cubes in a pressure cooker until dissolved. Using tongs, remove the ribs from the skillet, and place into the pressure cooker. Seal according to manufacturer's directions and cook for 25 minutes.
• After 25 minutes, release pressure, and open cooker according to manufacturer's directions. Pour in the canned tomatoes, garlic, onion, and carrots. Simmer, uncovered until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the diced potatoes in enough water to cover until tender, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the meat to a serving platter. Stir together 3 tablespoons of flour with 1 cup of water. Stir into the vegetables, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Drain the cooked potatoes, and add to the stew along with the can of peas. Heat until warmed through, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

WONDERFUL SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• In a large pan over medium-high heat, stir in tomato sauce, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in parsley, thyme, bay leaves, brown sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes. Add onions and short ribs, and stir together until the mixture comes to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer; stirring occasionally and skimming fat from surface, until meat is tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove bay leaves before serving.

RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIB STEW WITH POTATOES, CARROTS, AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Prepare the short ribs: In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the ghee or olive oil.
• Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season with the sea salt. Gently place the short ribs in the hot ghee or oil and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, turning as needed and searing in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pot. Transfer to a plate.
• To the same pot, add the onion, carrot and celery and cook until the veggies begin to brown, stirring as needed to avoid burning, about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine and deglaze the pot, scraping the browned bits loose from the bottom of the pot. Add the thyme and garlic and bring to a simmer. Let the wine reduce by half, about 10 minutes, then remove the pot form the heat.
• Place the browned short ribs into the wine reduction along with the bone broth and let marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can prepare this dish in advance by letting the ribs marinate for a full 24 hours-well worth it in our opinion.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Remove the pot from the refrigerator, cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and transfer to the oven to braise for 2 1/2 hours.
• At the 2 hour mark, when 30 minutes remain on the cooking time for the short ribs, prepare the vegetables: On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms with the ghee or oil and sea salt. Spread out in and even layer and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are knife-tender.
• Remove the pot with the short ribs from the oven, uncover, and transfer the meat to a plate. Strain the braising liquid into a deep serving dish; discard the solids from the liquid. Add the roasted veggies to the serving dish and stir to distribute evenly. Using your hands or a fork, break the short ribs into chunks and stir in as well. Garnish with a little chopped fresh parsley and serve family style.
• The stew or any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 6 months.

SHORT RIB AND VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Cover short ribs with cold water and soak, chilled, at least 2 hours.
• Drain ribs and transfer to an 8-to 10-quart heavy pot with cold water (8 cups). Simmer ribs, partially covered, skimming any foam, 2 hours. Chill ribs in liquid (covered once cool) until fat solidifies, about 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, soak mushrooms in hot water (4 cups), turning occasionally, until softened, about 1 hour. Squeeze excess liquid from mushrooms and reserve 2 cups soaking liquid; cut off and discard mushroom stems, then halve caps.
• Discard fat from ribs and return to a simmer. Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces, then add to ribs with radish, carrots, garlic, dates (if using), soy sauce, fish sauce, molasses, red-pepper paste, mushrooms, reserved mushroom-soaking liquid, and water (if necessary) to barely cover meat and vegetables with liquid. Simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
• Stir in onion and scallions and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until meat is very tender and vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Skim off any fat, then stir in sesame oil. Stir before serving and serve additional red-pepper paste on the side.

WINTER SHORT-RIB STEW

Steps:

• Place a rack in the middle of the oven, and heat oven to 500 degrees.
• Place the short ribs in one layer in a medium roasting pan, and roast for 25 minutes. Turn the pieces, add the garlic, and roast for 15 minutes more.
• Remove the ribs to a tall, narrow stockpot. Spoon the fat from the roasting pan, and pour any juices over the bones.
• Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over medium heat, and add 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour this liquid over the bones.
• Add the tomatoes, 2 cups water, the bay leaf, 2 pieces of orange zest and the lemon zest. Cover the stockpot, and bring to a boil. Uncover, lower the heat, and simmer for 40 minutes.
• Stir in the barley, the string beans and 2 cups water. Cover, and bring to a boil. Uncover, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Occasionally poke the string beans down into the liquid. Add 2 teaspoons salt, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Skim the fat. Add the fennel and the herbs. Bring the pot to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the remaining salt, the lima beans, two strips of orange zest and 2 cups water.
• Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. The meat should be falling off the bones.
• Remove the meat and the bones from the stockpot. Place two pieces of meat (with or without the bones) in each of six bowls, and divide the vegetables and liquid evenly over them.

HEARTY SHORT RIB STEW

Steps:

• For the stew: Heat the oil and butter in a Dutch oven over a medium-high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs with salt and pepper, then brown in batches on all sides in the pan, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Add the garlic, onions and carrots to the pan and toss in the drippings. Stir in the tomato paste and allow to cook until it has combined with the vegetables, for 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the beer and beef stock. Add the Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, bay leaves and the browned short ribs. Cover and cook over a low heat until very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Stir in the parsley. Remove the rosemary and bay leaves before serving.
• For the buttered egg noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with the butter and parsley. Serve the stew over the buttered noodles.

SNOWY NIGHT SHORT RIB STEW

Steps:

• Cook short ribs in batches until well-browned over medium heat, about 8 minutes per batch. Remove short ribs to platter. Discard all but approximately 2 tablespoons fat in bottom of pot. Saute onions in fat until golden over medium heat. Add wine to pot and cook over medium heat, uncovered, until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Return short ribs to pot and add chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 2 hours, or until shorts are tender.
• Stir in carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, and sage. Cover and simmer over low heat an additional 35-40 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Remove and discard rosemary sprigs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes or rice.

THE BEST BEEF SHORT RIB STEW

Steps:

• Brown your short ribs in a frying pan with a small amount of olive oil.
• (I used one package of bone in ribs and one package of boneless).
• Once they're browned, place them in a large pot along with the sliced onions.
• Now fill the pot up with water. Use enough water to cover your meat.
• You will now want to add the ranch, Italian, gravy mix, and salt.
• Once you've added those ingredients, stir them together well, cover your pot, and bring to a boil.
• Once your stew is boiling reduce the heat to a medium low and let cook for a few hours until the meat is soft and falling apart.
• Once the meat is finished, add the carrots and potatoes and cook for 30 to 40 more mins on a medium low until your vegetables are tender.
• Bon appetit :).
