Steps:

• Place ribs in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Top with bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, gravy mix (dry), wine and soup.
• Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
• Spoon excess fat from top of sauce if desired. Remove bay leaves. Serve ribs with mashed potatoes, spooning sauce over all.

Steps:

• For the breadcrumbs: Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then remove to a bowl. Add the parsley, lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl, then toss to combine. Set aside and allow to cool, then cover until ready to use.
• For the short ribs and carrots: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Return the pot used for the breadcrumbs to the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 4 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the short ribs and sear on all sides, about 45 seconds per side. Remove to a plate. Add the tomato paste, carrots, garlic and onion. Stir and allow the tomato paste to cook for a minute. Pour in the beef stock and add the short ribs back to the pot; add the rosemary and bay leaves. Cover and place in the oven. Cook until the ribs are fork-tender and falling off the bone, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
• Remove the carrots to a platter and use the back of a fork to mash them. Place the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over the top, followed by the short ribs. Skim the fat from the braising liquid and transfer the liquid it to a server. Garnish with the buttery panko breadcrumbs and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the onion, celery, carrots, beets and garlic. Add the rosemary, thyme, star anise, and cinnamon stick, and set aside.
• Cut the ribs between the bones, and trim all the excess outer fat. Season the ribs well with coarse salt. Dredge in flour until well coated.
• In a large Dutch oven or wide soup pot on high heat, pour in enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the ribs to the hot oil, and sear the ribs so they are browned well on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the ribs, and set aside.
• In the same pan, transfer all the vegetables from the bowl, and stir to caramelize, and pick up all the brown bits. Add the meat back into the pot. Pour the wine over top. Ensure all is covered with the liquid and if not, top up with water.
• Add the cocoa powder, brown sugar and peppercorns, and bring to a boil, cover with a lid or foil, and place in the oven until the meat is fork tender, about 3 hours. Remove the ribs to a platter, and strain out the solids to use for something else.
• Boil the cooking liquid in a wide shallow pan until it is reduced by half. It will be richer, more flavorful and thicker. Add a nub of butter at the end for sheen and flavor.
• Serve the short ribs on a mound of Garlic Mashed Potatoes, topped with Green Beans and Poached Vine tomatoes, recipes follow.
• Slice the top off a garlic head and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and the fresh herbs. Wrap in a tin foil packet, and roast in the oven for about 1 hour.
• Fill a large saucepan with water; add a few good pinches of coarse salt and the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until just fork tender. Do not overcook or the potatoes will be soggy. Drain off the water, leaving the potatoes in the pot.
• Add the butter and cream to the potatoes, and mash well.
• Remove the garlic from the oven. Squeeze the garlic cloves into the potatoes, and stir in. The consistency you want is rough, with some lumps. Season the potatoes with salt, and pepper, if desired.
• In a large saute pan, add about 2 inches of olive oil. Bring to about 325 degrees F - just below frying temperature. Season with salt, herbs and toss in the garlic. Carefully place the tomatoes in the oil, and poach until they swell up and almost burst, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and use to garnish the beef short ribs.
• Trim only the stem ends off the beans. Blanche the beans in a pot of salted boiling water for about 20 seconds. Drain, and immerse in an ice water bath to stop the cooking. Drain the beans on a towel. The beans should be original green in color and crunchy to the bite.
• Slice the shallot into fine julienne. In a large saute pan, on high heat, add the butter and shallot. Stir until softened. Add the beans, and toss to warm through. Season with salt, and black pepper, if desired.
• Serve the beans in a little mound on top of the beef short rib. Top with a poached stem of tomatoes.

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy bottom skillet over medium high-heat. Add the ribs to the skillet and sprinkle with salt + pepper. Sear the ribs on all sides for about 1 minute per side. Remove the ribs from the skillet.
• Arrange the onions on the bottom of your crock-pot and sprinkle the brown sugar over them. Add the seared short ribs, garlic, mushrooms, apple cider and thyme.
• Cover the crock-pot and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 5-6 hours. During the last 1-2 hours of cooking, add the apple slices, tossing to combine.
• Once the short ribs are done cooking and easily fall apart, skim off any fat from the top of the crock-pot. Lightly shred the ribs and remove and discard the bones. Keep the rib meat in the sauce, covered on low heat until ready to eat.
• About 40 minutes before you're ready to eat, make the potatoes. In a large pot of cold water, bring the potatoes and garlic to a boil. Salt the water and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes, return the potatoes to the pot and mash over low heat, or mash in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, adding the cream, cheddar cheese, and 2 teaspoons salt.
• In a skillet or small sauce pot, melt the butter over medium heat until just browned. The butter will melt, foam and froth, then begin to brown along the bottom. Whisk browned bits off of the bottom of the pan. Stir in the sage and let cook 30 seconds. Pour the browned butter into the warm mashed potatoes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Divide the mashed potatoes between plates and top with the rib meat. Enjoy!
