Pierre Schaedelins Braised Short Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add bones and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic; cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes more.
• Add 10 cups of water and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 1 1/2 hours. Skim surface and strain stock before using.

Steps:

• Cut 2 carrots crosswise into 1-inch pieces and add to a large bowl, along with short ribs, wine, garlic, leek, onion, and celery; toss to combine. Cover, and let marinate, refrigerated, overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Drain vegetables, reserving liquid; set aside.
• Season meat with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add short ribs; cook until browned on all sides,1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside; repeat process with remaining ribs. Add vegetables to Dutch oven and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Return meat to Dutch oven, along with liquid from marinade and enough beef stock or water to cover meat by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and transfer to oven. Cook until meat is tender, 2 to 3 hours.
• Remove meat from liquid and let cool slightly. Strain liquid into a large saucepan, pressing down on solids to remove any liquid; discard solids. Place liquid over medium-high heat and gently stir in chocolate until melted.
• Cut remaining 3 carrots into 1 1/2-inch pieces and add to saucepan, along with celeriac and turnips. Cook until vegetables are tender and sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove meat from bones; trim fat and discard. Add meat to liquid and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Serve immediately garnished with parsley.

Steps:

• Combine ribs, wine, garlic, leeks, and carrots in a large roasting pan. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator 1 day.
• Remove rib sections from marinade and pat dry, then season all over with salt and pepper. With a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a colander; reserve marinade.
• Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high. Sear two rib sections at a time on the meat side until browned, then transfer to a large pot. Once all ribs have been seared, pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from pan and add vegetables to pan. Saute until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Transfer to pot and add reserved marinade and the stock. If necessary, add enough water to just cover ribs and vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until meat is very tender but is not yet falling apart, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Using tongs, transfer ribs to a rimmed baking sheet. Strain liquid through a fine sieve into a saucepan; discard solids. Bring liquid to a simmer; cook, skimming off foam and impurities from the surface, until reduced to 2 cups, about 1 hour. Skim off fat, then stir in chocolate until melted.
• In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons water and flour, then whisk into sauce. Simmer, whisking, until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Strain sauce through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan.
• Remove bones and membrane covering underside of ribs. Trim away excess fat. Arrange ribs in a single layer in bottom of pot. Bring sauce to a simmer, then pour over ribs. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until meat is heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve hot with celery root puree, Chinese long beans, and braised salsify.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Salt and pepper the ribs, then dredge them in the flour. Set aside.
• In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until completely crispy and all the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon and set aside. Drain off any excess fat.
• Add the olive oil to the pan with the bacon fat and raise the heat to high. Brown the ribs on all sides, about 45 seconds per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.
• Lower the heat to medium. Add the carrots, shallots and onions to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Splash in the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to release all the flavorful bits of glory. Add the broth, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper and bring to a boil. Taste and add more salt if needed. Add the ribs to the liquid; they should be almost completely submerged. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs (whole) to the liquid. Finally, add the cooked bacon.
• Put on a lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the ribs are fork-tender and falling off the bone, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to sit for at least 20 minutes with the lid on before serving. At the last minute, skim the fat off the top of the liquid. (You can also refrigerate the mixture, then remove the solid fat from the top.)
• For each serving, arrange 2 ribs on a bed of the grits, spooning a little juice over the top.
• Cook the grits according to the package instructions, adding the salt with the water. Turn off the heat just before the grits are done.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs. To temper the eggs before adding them to the hot grits, throw a couple of spoonfuls of the hot grits into the eggs. Begin stirring immediately and continue stirring until the mixture is well combined.
• Pour the egg mixture into the grits. Stir constantly to incorporate the eggs into the grits. Add the butter and stir until melted. Next, add the cheese and stir until melted. Add the cayenne and garlic and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt or cayenne if necessary. You could also add more cheese if you think that will bring happiness to your life, but keep in mind that some cheeses increase the salt content more than others.
• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and pour the grits into the dish. Bake until the grits are hot and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. The grits will become firmer as they cool.

Steps:

• Season each short rib generously with salt. Coat a pot large enough to accommodate all the meat and vegetables with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Add the short ribs to the pan and brown very well, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook in batches, if necessary.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• While the short ribs are browning, puree all the vegetables and garlic in the food processor until it forms a coarse paste. When the short ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Drain the fat, coat the bottom of same pan with fresh oil and add the pureed vegetables. Season the vegetables generously with salt and brown until they are very dark and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Scrape the crud again and add the tomato paste. Brown the tomato paste for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat if things start to burn. Reduce the mixture by half.
• Return the short ribs to the pan and add 2 cups water or until the water has just about covered the meat. Add the thyme bundle and bay leaves. Cover the pan and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Check periodically during the cooking process and add more water, if needed. Turn the ribs over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When done the meat should be very tender but not falling apart. Serve with the braising liquid.

Steps:

• Trim ends from salsify, peel, and cut into 3-inch lengths. To prevent browning, soak salsify in a bowl of cold water, weighting with a plate to keep submerged until ready to cook.
• Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook salsify, stirring occasionally, until beginning to turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and add enough water to reach halfway up the sides of salsify. Cover and simmer until tender, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Bring celery roots and cream to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer until celery roots are tender about 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, reserving 2 cups cream. Puree celery roots with reserved cream in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
