Beef Short Ribs

Pioneer Woman’s recipe is awesome. For three people could probably just cut it in half. She serves hers over polenta.

Pioneer Woman Braised Short Ribs

Look for a beef bourguignon recipe and use the short ribs. Serve over grits as suggested.

I like cheese grits with my short ribs

If you’re ever in the Jackson area you have to get the Dr Pepper braised short ribs at local 463

If it's the first time with short ribs, braising is def the best way to go. Good call on browning the tomato paste. Just be sure to cook slow and low after everything is browned, and you can't have too much red wine in the pot.
This summer I started grilling short ribs. Marinate with garlic, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, fresh thyme, parsley and oregano, Worcestershire, minced scotch bonnet pepper, tomato paste, red wine, salt and pepper, for at least 2 hours. Grill on high heat on all sides for color, then move to a cooler spot on the grill, turning, until medium rare. Let them rest, then cut from the bone and slice across the grain, like flank steak. Intense flavor. Serve with diced tomatoes and avocado tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper.

Short rib gravy is the best.

Yes.. I like Julia Child's recipe, cook the ribs in an enameled cast iron dutch oven and instead of pappardelle noodles, I like them over rice.. and do the onions and shrooms.

Ingredients:

•1/2 pound bacon, chopped
•1 tablespoon olive oil
•3 pounds lean stewing beef (cut into approximately 2? chunks)
•1 carrot, sliced (or 10-15 baby carrots, coarse chopped)
•1 onion, chopped
•1 teaspoon salt
•1/4 teaspoon pepper
•2 tablespoons flour
•3 cups full-bodied red wine
•2 – 3 cups beef stock
•1 tablespoon tomato paste
•2 cloves garlic, smashed
•1/2 teaspoon thyme
•1 crumbled bay leaf (optional)

For the brown-braised onions (Oignons Glacés à Brun)
•1/2 bag white pearl onions
•1 1/2 tablespoons butter
•1 tablespoon olive oil
•1/2 cup beef stock or beef broth
•Salt and pepper

For the sautéed mushrooms (Champignons Sautés au Beurre)
•1 pound mushrooms, quartered
•4 tablespoons butter
•Salt and pepper

Method

That sounds like a great way to finish.

I've done the Pioneer Woman's short ribs and that recipe is excellent, but a couple of months ago, I got some boneless beef short ribs from Costco and decided to wing it and those also turned out delicious!

I seasoned them and seared (both sides) them in a skillet. Transferred them to the crock pot. Sauteed diced onions, red bell pepper and one diced jalapeno in the same skillet as the beef. Added a little less than 2 Tbs tomato paste to the skillet, and mixed it in with the veg.

1 cup of beef stock into the crock pot, a few splashes of Worcestershire, balsamic and a cup of red wine. Transferred the veggie tomato paste mixture to the crock pot and gave everything a stir. Couple of bay leaves. Cooked about six hours on low (planned on longer, but they were done).

Next time, I'll leave out the balsamic. I don't know that it added very much.

Those look nice. Sam’s and Costco carry them cut like that here in BR.

Those are beautiful ribs, where did you buy them?
