Sunday Beef For Weeknights This Is A Monday Through Friday Alternative To Spare Ribs Recipes

GAZPACHO, THE MONDAY TO FRIDAY WAY

Steps:

• In a food processor puree the scallions, bell peppers, cucumbers, garlic, tomato juice and olive oil. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. If you find the mixture too thin, add the cubed dried bread and puree gain until thick enough for your taste. Cover and refrigerate at least for 1 hour until serving time. Garnish with sour cream, cucumber and scallion.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON SLOW-COOKED SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Place the ribs into a large pot, and cover with lightly salted water. Bring the ribs to a boil, and boil for 45 minutes. Drain off the water and set the ribs aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until the oil shimmers, and brown the ribs on all sides, about 10 minutes per side. Remove the ribs, and pour in the beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, seafood seasoning, dried onion, nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients until the sauce has dissolved any brown bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-low heat, and transfer the ribs back into the sauce.
• Coat the ribs with sauce, cover the pan, and simmer over low heat until the meat is very tender and falls off the bones, about 3 hours.
