Delicious Braised Short Ribs With Red Wine Gravy And Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Boil wine, broth, and thyme in a 6- to 7-quart wide heavy pot until reduced to about 5 cups, about 30 minutes, then pour through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl.
• Cook whole shallots in oil in cleaned pot over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add garlic cloves and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is golden and shallots are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate, reserving fat in pot.
• Pat ribs dry and season well with salt and pepper. Heat fat in pot over high heat, then sear ribs in 3 batches until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes per batch, transferring with tongs to a bowl. Pour off any fat in pan.
• Return ribs, shallots, garlic, and reduced wine to pot with jelly and salt to taste, then simmer, covered, without stirring, 1 3/4 hours.
• After meat has been simmering 1 1/4 hours, peel carrots, then cut carrots and zucchini diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Peel potatoes.
• Add potatoes and carrots to pot (don't stir) and simmer, covered, until ribs are tender and potatoes and carrots are just tender, about 30 minutes.
• Add zucchini to pot (don't stir) and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 6 minutes.
• Transfer meat and vegetables with a slotted spoon to a large serving dish. Discard any loose bones and keep meat and vegetables warm, covered.
• Skim fat from sauce and reserve 1 tablespoon fat. Stir reserved fat into flour in a small bowl to make a dry paste. Thin paste with 2 tablespoons warm sauce. Bring sauce to a boil and whisk in half of flour paste until thickened. (If necessary, whisk more paste into boiling sauce until thickened to desired consistency.) Simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, about 3 minutes. Pour over meat and vegetables.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275 degrees. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer browned short ribs to a large plate and continue with remaining ribs.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of remaining fat, leaving the good browned bits behind. Reduce heat to medium, and add garlic, cut side down and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and continue to cook until vegetables are softened but not yet browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato paste has started to caramelize a bit on the bottom and up the edges of the pot, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add red wine and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned or caramelized bits. Let this simmer 2 to 3 minutes, just to take the edge off and reduce a bit. Stir in beef stock along with thyme. Using tongs, return short ribs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, nestling them in there so that they are submerged (if they are just barely covered, nestle them bone side up so that all the meat is submerged, adding more beef stock or water as necessary to cover). Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven.
• Cook, undisturbed, until short ribs are meltingly tender and falling off the bone (you should be able to shred the meat with a fork), 3½ to 4 hours.
• Using tongs, remove the ribs from the pot, taking care (for presentation purposes, really) not to let the bone slip out and transfer them to a large plate. (While you could serve the short ribs right out of this pot, the vegetables have all given up their flavor and texture and aren't worth much now, so feel free to strain the sauce for easier eating.) Scatter parsley, chives and lemon zest over the top of the short ribs. Separate the fat from the sauce, season with salt and pepper and serve alongside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Sprinkle short ribs with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and salt. In an ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown ribs in oil in batches. Remove meat and set aside. Add next five ingredients to drippings; cook until tender. Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half. , Return ribs to pan. Add 4 cups broth, rosemary, oregano, bay leaf and remaining pepper; bring to a boil. Bake, covered, until meat is tender, 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Remove ribs to a serving platter and tent with foil. Discard herbs., Pour drippings and loosened browned bits from roasting pan into a measuring cup. Skim fat. Add enough remaining broth to drippings to measure 1 cup. In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in broth mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with ribs.

Steps:

• Stir flour and allspice in medium bowl to blend. Sprinkle short ribs all over with salt and pepper. Add 6 ribs to flour mixture and turn to coat. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add floured ribs; saut) until brown, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Repeat flouring and browning with remaining 6 ribs; reserve remaining flour-coating mixture. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pot. Add onions, carrots and celery stalks; saut) until vegetables begin to brown and are very tender, scraping bottom of pot often, about 30 minutes.
• Add garlic, thyme and caraway seeds to pot; stir 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes and bay leaves. Return ribs and accumulated juices to pot, arranging ribs in single layer. Add broth and wine. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until meat is almost tender, about 1 hour.
• Uncover pot. Simmer ribs 30 minutes, occasionally spooning fat from surface; reserve 2 tablespoons fat. Stir reserved flour-coating mixture and reserved 2 tablespoons fat in small bowl until smooth; mix paste into sauce around ribs. Simmer until meat is very tender and gravy thickens, about 45 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer short ribs and gravy to large bowl. Sprinkle with celery leaves.

Steps:

• Grind first 5 ingredients in spice mill. Sprinkle beef with additional pepper and 3 1/2 teaspoons herb-salt mixture. Heat 1/2 cup corn oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Working in batches, add beef and brown well, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes per batch. Using tongs, transfer beef to large bowl. Pour off oil from pot. Add 1 cup broth to drippings in pot and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Pour deglazed pan juices into small bowl.
• Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in same pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté until beginning to brown, about 12 minutes. Add tomato paste and sauté 2 minutes.

Boil until reduced to 4 cups, about 15 minutes. Add beef and stir to heat through. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before continuing.
