Oven Braised Boneless Short Ribs Recipes

BRAISED BONELESS SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F and adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven.
• Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season with 2 teaspoons salt.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy-bottomed oven-safe pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove from the pan, and set aside. Drain all, but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pot.
• Add half of beef and cook, without moving, until well browned (about 4 to 6 minutes). Turn the beef and continue to cook on the second side until well browned, reducing heat if fat begins to smoke.
• Transfer beef to a plate and repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and short ribs. Set the browned ribs aside on a dish.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions, celery, and carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and beginning to brown, 10-12 minutes. (If onions begin to darken too quickly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water to the pan.)
• Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and the liquid cooks off. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
• Add the flour and coat the mixture well. Cook, stirring constantly, until it browns on the sides and bottom of the pan, about 2 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high, add wine, and simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits, until reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the stock, parsley, pepper, and bay leaf. Add cooked bacon, browned beef, and any accumulated juices to pot; cover and bring to simmer.
• Transfer pot to oven and cook, until a fork slips easily in and out of meat, 3 to 3½ hours.
• Using tongs, transfer meat to a cutting board and shred or cut into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot.
• Taste for seasoning and add salt as needed before serving.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS IN THE OVEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot on medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the ribs, in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the ribs to a plate as they become brown. Add the onion and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Return the ribs to the pot along with any accumulated juices from the plate. Add the beef broth, wine, Worcestershire, and thyme sprigs. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil.
• Cover, transfer to the oven, and continue to cook, undisturbed until the meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Check the meat after 2 hours. If there is too much liquid, return to the oven and continue to cook uncovered, until the meat is fork-tender. If most of the liquid has evaporated, add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of boiling beef broth or a combination of broth and red wine, return to the oven and continue to cook, uncovered until the meat is fork-tender.
• Transfer the ribs to a large serving bowl. Pour the broth into a gravy separator. Discard the excess fat. Adjust the seasoning of the remaining liquid with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the liquid over the short ribs, garnish with fresh thyme leaves, and serve.

OVEN-BRAISED BONELESS SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Cut the short ribs in half as shown in the photo above and arrange them in a lightly greased 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Season them with salt and pepper.
• In a small jar, add the vinegar, hot pepper sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder and thyme. Whisk or shake well to combine. Pour the sauce over the ribs and use your hands to toss and coat all the pieces.
• Cover the pan tightly with a double layer of aluminum foil. Bake the ribs until cooked through and tender, 2.5 hours.
• Remove the foil (careful - hot steam will escape). Baste the tops of the short ribs with the braising liquid, and continue baking them for 30 more minutes, allowing the tops to brown.
• Serve with the braising liquid. I like to place a small bowl filled with the braising liquid on each plate. This allows the diners to dip their meat into the yummy liquid.

• Place oven rack in upper-middle position and preheat to 300°F Pat beef dry with paper towels. Stir together salt and pepper and sprinkle over beef. Heat 1 tbsp oil in Dutch oven until smoking. Add half of beef and cook without moving, 4-6 minutes, until well browned. Turn beef over and cook second side until well browned, another 4-6 minutes. If fat begins to smoke, reduce heat. Transfer beef to medium bowl. Repeat with remaining oil and beef.

Turn heat up to medium-high, add wine, and simmer, scraping up fond from sides and bottom. Simmer until reduced by half, 8-10 minutes. Add beef broth, carrots, thyme, and bay leaf. Add beef and any juices in the bowl. Cover and bring to a simmer. Transfer to oven and cook 2 to 2½ hours, turning meat twice with tongs during cooking. When done, a fork will slip easily in and out of meat.
• Place water in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer meat and carrots to serving platter; tent with foil. Strain cooking liquid through a fine strainer into a fat separator. Press on solids to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard solids. Allow to settle, then strain off fat. Return liquid to Dutch oven and reduce to 1 cup over medium heat, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in bloomed gelatin; season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over meat and serve.
