The Best Beef Short Rib Stew Recipes

THE BEST BEEF SHORT RIB STEW

Steps:

• Brown your short ribs in a frying pan with a small amount of olive oil.
• (I used one package of bone in ribs and one package of boneless).
• Once they're browned, place them in a large pot along with the sliced onions.
• Now fill the pot up with water. Use enough water to cover your meat.
• You will now want to add the ranch, Italian, gravy mix, and salt.
• Once you've added those ingredients, stir them together well, cover your pot, and bring to a boil.
• Once your stew is boiling reduce the heat to a medium low and let cook for a few hours until the meat is soft and falling apart.
• Once the meat is finished, add the carrots and potatoes and cook for 30 to 40 more mins on a medium low until your vegetables are tender.
• Bon appetit :).

ULTIMATE BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300˚ F.
• Heat the oil in a large (11- to 12-inch) Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until browned. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with a paper towel and set aside.
• Meanwhile, season the short ribs all over with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Brown half the meat in the Dutch oven over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned on all sides. Transfer the meat to a bowl and brown the second batch. (Don't cook them all in one batch or they won't brown!) Transfer the second batch to the bowl and set aside.
• Off the heat, add the Cognac and 1/3 cup of the wine to the pot, scraping up any browned bits, then simmer over medium heat for one minute. Add the onions and fennel and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
• Stir the tomatoes and tomato paste into the vegetables. Add the remaining 2/3 cup of wine, the beef broth, the seared meat (and juices), 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and bake for 1 1/4 hours, checking occasionally to be sure the liquid is simmering.
• Degrease the stew, if necessary. Stir in the carrots and potatoes, cover and bake for one hour longer, until the vegetables and meat are very tender when tested with a fork. Just before serving, stir in the peas and pancetta, taste for seasonings and serve hot in large, shallow bowls.

BEEF SHORT RIB STEW

Steps:

• BROIL ribs 6-inches from heat until well-browned, about 10 minute Place vegetables in bottom of slow cooker. Place ribs on top of vegetables.
• COMBINE beer, 6 tablespoons mustard and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire. Pour over all. Cover pot. Cook on high-heat setting for 5 hours (or 10 hours on low setting) until meat is tender. Remove meat and vegetables with slotted spoon to platter; keep warm.
• SKIM fat from broth. Pour broth into saucepan. Whisk cornstarch mixture into broth and simmer 2 minute until thickened, stirring often. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons mustard and 1 tablespoons Worcestershire; heat through.
• SERVE gravy with meat and vegetables.

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.
