Boneless Braised Short Ribs Recipe 435

Steps:

• For the short ribs: Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce and a pinch black pepper in a large braising pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the garlic and onions and boil for 2 minutes.
• Cut the beef short ribs into 3-ounce, 2-inch flat squares. Brown them on a preheated flat top griddle. Then add the short ribs to the braising liquid. Simmer until the ribs are tender enough to melt in your mouth, about 2 hours.
• For the shrimp: Heat a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Dust the shrimp with garlic powder, then deep fry until light golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss with the garlic butter, garlic salt to taste and green onions.
• Plate the short ribs and garlic butter shrimp with white rice and Molokai sweet potato salad. Swirl some teriyaki sauce over garlic aioli in a ramekin. Garnish with green onions.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil the sweet potatoes, russet potato and eggs, if using, for 10 minutes. Let the potatoes and eggs cool down to room temperature.
• Peel the skin off the potatoes and cut into medium dice. Peel and chop the eggs. Add kosher salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste. Add the bacon and eggs. Stir in the mayonnaise and mix thoroughly until well incorporated. Chill for 5 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Select a pot that will old all the pieces of short ribs. Heat the canola oil in a large heavy bottomed pot (a Le Crueset pot is perfect for this) until smoking, season the short rib pieces liberally with salt and pepper. Sear the short ribs on all sides. As the meat is seared remove to a sheet pan. Add the butter to the pan heat till foaming, add all the vegetables and cook over a low to medium heat until a rich golden brown. The longer you caramelize the vegetables the richer the flavor! Once the vegetables are a rich golden brown add the garlic, and thyme stir well. Add the red wine and reduce till almost dry, add the tomato paste and beef stock and bay leaf stir well until the tomato paste is completely incorporated. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Add the meat back to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer. Place in the over and cook until the meat becomes tender, approximately 3 ½ to 4 hours. I like my short ribs just tender, not falling apart. Strain the cooking liquid, remove the fat from the top and simmer slowly until reduced to a syrupy consistency. When you like, whether an hour or a couple days later, reheat the short ribs gently in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Swirl 1 T butter into the reduced sauce and spoon over the Short Ribs.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Chop onion, celery and carrot into one inch pieces. Mince garlic. Set aside. Dredge beef in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Shake off extra flour.
• Heat dutch oven or other oven/stovetop safe deep pan over high heat till hot. Add oil and immediately add beef.
• Brown beef till all sides are dark golden brown. Remove from pan and add onion, carrot and celery.
• Reduce heat to medium and add garlic. Sauté till vegetables start to brown.
• Add wine and reduce by half.
• Add tomato paste, chicken stock, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf.
• Return beef to pan, cover tightly and place in oven. Cook for about two hours or until beef is tender but not falling apart.
• Remove beef and strain vegetables off of sauce. Return liquid to pan and reduce until desired consistency.
• Season sauce to taste. Serve over spatzle, noodles or polenta. (or whatever else you please).

Steps:

• Place oven rack in upper-middle position and preheat to 300°F Pat beef dry with paper towels. Stir together salt and pepper and sprinkle over beef. Heat 1 tbsp oil in Dutch oven until smoking. Add half of beef and cook without moving, 4-6 minutes, until well browned. Turn beef over and cook second side until well browned, another 4-6 minutes. If fat begins to smoke, reduce heat. Transfer beef to medium bowl. Repeat with remaining oil and beef.
• Reduce heat to medium, add onion, and cook, stirring often, until softened and barely browned, 12-15 minutes. (If onions darken too quickly, add 1-2 tbsp water to pan.).
• Add tomato paste and stir constantly until it browns on sides and bottom of pan, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook unitl fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Turn heat up to medium-high, add wine, and simmer, scraping up fond from sides and bottom. Simmer until reduced by half, 8-10 minutes. Add beef broth, carrots, thyme, and bay leaf. Add beef and any juices in the bowl. Cover and bring to a simmer. Transfer to oven and cook 2 to 2½ hours, turning meat twice with tongs during cooking. When done, a fork will slip easily in and out of meat.
• Place water in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer meat and carrots to serving platter; tent with foil. Strain cooking liquid through a fine strainer into a fat separator. Press on solids to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard solids. Allow to settle, then strain off fat. Return liquid to Dutch oven and reduce to 1 cup over medium heat, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in bloomed gelatin; season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over meat and serve.
