Asian Short Ribs With Carrots And Rice Recipes

ASIAN SHORT RIBS WITH CARROTS AND RICE

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven heat 1 tbls. of the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; sauté until soft, about 10 minutes. Remove the onions from the pan and heat the remaining oil. Brown the beef in 2 batches; remove from pan.
• Put the onions back into pan and add tomatoes, sherry, plum and hoisin sauces, the salt, pepper, and hot pepper flakes. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes. Add the beef, cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Uncover and continue cooking 30 minutes.
• While short ribs are cooking, prepare the carrots. Bring a pan of water to boil, add the carrots and cook 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
• Add the carrots to the meat and continue to cook 15 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve meat and sauce over the hot rice.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS AND CARROTS

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.

ASIAN STYLE SHORT RIBS WITH LACQUERED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Rinse short ribs and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Coat bottom of a 5- to 7-quart Dutch oven with a thin film of oil and set pot over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add enough short ribs to cover the bottom in one layer. Cook, without stirring, until short ribs lift easily from pot with tongs and are well browned on bottom, about 5 minutes.
• Turn and brown on the other side, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and continue with remaining short ribs, adding more oil to pot in between batches as needed.
• Meanwhile, stir together orange juice, soy, sugar and red pepper flakes. Set aside. When the last batch of short ribs has been removed from pot, drain off all but 1 tablespoon fat and add onion. Cook, stirring, until onion is softened, about 2 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and stir 1 minute more until fragrant. Pour in orange juice mixture, let come to a boil, then put short ribs back in pot 1 at a time, bone side up; don't worry if you have to snuggle them a bit.
• Cover pot and transfer to oven. Cook until meat peels easily away from bone when prodded with a fork, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from oven and transfer meat and bones to a plate. (The recipe can be made ahead to this point; let cool to room temperature and place short ribs and sauce in separate containers and store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.).
• If serving the dish right away, cover meat with foil to keep warm. Tilt pot to one side and spoon off as much fat as possible from sauce. Place pot over high heat and add carrots and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. (If made ahead, lift and remove solidified fat from top of sauce. Put sauce in a wide, deep pan, add carrots and water and continue as directed.) Reduce heat slightly and cook, uncovered, at a steady simmer until sauce is reduced by about half and carrots are just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Return meat briefly to pan to rewarm, then serve. (If reheating meat, cover pan and heat in sauce for about 10 minutes more.).
