Braised Short Ribs With Mushrooms Recipes

RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine all the marinade ingredients-the garlic through the red wine-in a large pan. Bring the wine to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes, and then let it cool a bit before combining with the ribs. (see notes)
• Place the ribs in a plastic storage bag. Carefully pour the marinade in with the ribs. Squeeze the air out, and seal the bags tightly. Place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 275 convection / 300 degrees conventional. When you're getting ready to braise the ribs, remove the short ribs from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Scrape off large bits of marinade ingredients that may be sticking to the ribs. Find 3 garlic cloves and a sprig of rosemary from the marinade, and mince for later.
• Place a large bowl in the sink, and place a finely meshed sieve over the bowl. Pour the marinade through the
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven safe dutch oven. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and parsnip to one dutch oven or skillet; add the other half of the veggies to your second cooking vessel, or hold aside to do in 2 batch. Cook the veggies until they soften, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the short ribs to the veggie mixture. Turn the meat over every few minutes to brown the meat on each site.
• Have the oven preheated to 275. Once the meat has browned in the dutch oven, add the broth, rosemary, minced garlic and 1.5 cups of reserved marinade. Bring to a boil, then cover and move from the stove top to the oven. Cook for at least 3 hours, until the meat is very tender. Check every hour or so to make sure you still have liquid in the dutch oven.
• Start this as you get within 30 minutes of finishing the beef slow cooking process. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet on medium. Add the shallot, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, cook until they sweat, about 5 minutes.
• After the ribs have braised for 3 hours, remove the Dutch oven from the oven and place on the stove top. Remove the cover from the beef. You should have some excess liquid. Scoop a ladleful of the broth from the beef into the mushroom skillet. Cook the broth down until it is mostly absorbed. Remove the short ribs from the dutch oven, and place on a platter. Cut the meat off the bones-it should slide off very easily and some meat will have come off the bone during the cooking. Cut the beef into smaller bite sized pieces, and removed large pieces of excess fat.
• Put the chopped beef back into the cooking vessel, and stir it into the broth. Stir the mushrooms in with the beef. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to blend the flavors and reduce the sauce a bit. The beef can be served at this point, or kept warm on low heat until you are ready to serve.
• Serve the beef and mushrooms over buttered noodles or mashed potatoes. Scoop the beef and mushrooms out with slotted spoon, then scoop the desired amount of additional sauce to serve over the beef. And of course, serve it with a glass of red wine!

SHORT RIBS BRAISED WITH MUSHROOMS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Combine mushrooms and water in a bowl; soak until mushrooms are rehydrated, about 30 minutes. Drain mushrooms and reserve liquid; dice mushrooms.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Season short ribs all over with salt and black pepper.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook short ribs in hot oil until browned on all sides, 7 to 12 minutes. Transfer ribs to a Dutch oven.
• Return skillet to heat and saute onion with a pinch of salt in hot pan until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir mushrooms into onion mixture.
• Pour reserved mushroom liquid into skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir beef broth, tomato sauce, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf into onion mixture.
• Pour tomato mixture over short ribs into Dutch oven and cover Dutch oven with a lid.
• Cook short ribs in the preheated oven until short ribs are fork-tender, about 2 hours.

GARLIC BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE

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.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS

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.

BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Combine the flour, slat, and pepper and dredge the short ribs. Heat half the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then sear the beef on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside.
• Add the onion and garlic and cook until brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes more.
• Add the stock, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan. Return the beef to the pot. Bring to a boil. Cover pot and transfer to the oven. Cook until the beef is fork-tender, 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
• In the last 15 minutes of cooking, heat the remaining oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the mushroons and cook until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Toss with the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the ribs to serving dishes, place the pot over high heat, and reduce the cooking liquid until slightly thickened. Serve with the mushrooms and cooking liquid.

RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIB STEW WITH POTATOES, CARROTS, AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Prepare the short ribs: In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the ghee or olive oil.
• Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season with the sea salt. Gently place the short ribs in the hot ghee or oil and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, turning as needed and searing in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pot. Transfer to a plate.
• To the same pot, add the onion, carrot and celery and cook until the veggies begin to brown, stirring as needed to avoid burning, about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine and deglaze the pot, scraping the browned bits loose from the bottom of the pot. Add the thyme and garlic and bring to a simmer. Let the wine reduce by half, about 10 minutes, then remove the pot form the heat.
• Place the browned short ribs into the wine reduction along with the bone broth and let marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can prepare this dish in advance by letting the ribs marinate for a full 24 hours-well worth it in our opinion.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Remove the pot from the refrigerator, cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and transfer to the oven to braise for 2 1/2 hours.
• At the 2 hour mark, when 30 minutes remain on the cooking time for the short ribs, prepare the vegetables: On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms with the ghee or oil and sea salt. Spread out in and even layer and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are knife-tender.
• Remove the pot with the short ribs from the oven, uncover, and transfer the meat to a plate. Strain the braising liquid into a deep serving dish; discard the solids from the liquid. Add the roasted veggies to the serving dish and stir to distribute evenly. Using your hands or a fork, break the short ribs into chunks and stir in as well. Garnish with a little chopped fresh parsley and serve family style.
• The stew or any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 6 months.
