Probably should have saved a bit of the reduced sauce to drizzle on top, but poured all of it over the meat instead. Absolutely delicious.

  1. Recipe: The recipes for the ribs is listed below. For the potatoes I tried something new by using the immersion blender to mix cooked garlic in the butter before using to make a roux. Also used a potato ricer, and boiled the potatoes in a mix of chicken stock and the strained short rib broth

    Edit: going to try and write the recipe, but it kept getting deleted last time I posted this. We’ll see if it works this time.

    Ingredients

    – 3 carrots
    – 3 celery stalks
    – 1 large onion
    – 3-4 Short Ribs
    – Spice blend for meat:
    – Kinder’s “The Blend”
    – Cajun seasoning (Slap ya Mama)
    – Paprika
    – Cayenne
    – 3 Tbsp Tomato Paste
    – Worcestershire sauce
    – Red Wine (Cabernet Sauvignon)
    – 4 cups beef broth
    – Better than Bouillon (Beef)
    – Rosemary
    – Thyme
    – Garlic Bulb

    Prep work

    – Dice the carrots, celery stalks, and onion.
    – Trim fat off short ribs and season with spice blend on all sides.
    – Heat large Dutch oven to medium / high heat and cover bottom with neutral oil (canola/avocado).

    Cooking Short Ribs

    – Preheat oven to 350F
    – Sear ribs on all sides in Dutch oven. Roughly 2-3 mins per side depending on heat. Remove and set aside.
    – Scrape bottom of pot and add the diced celery, carrots, and onion. Cook for roughly 3-4 minutes.
    – Add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce (roughly 2 tsp) and stir to integrate.
    – Pour half of the red wine bottle in and simmer for about 10 min to reduce.
    – Add short ribs back to pot and pour in the 4 cups of beef broth.
    – Add rosemary, thyme, garlic bulb, and a heaping tablespoon of better than bouillon. Stir gently to combine.
    – Place pot in oven at 350F for 2.5 hours.

    Plating

    – After ribs have cooked for 2.5 hours, remove Dutch oven from oven and remove short ribs from pot.
    – Remove bones and tear meat into large chunks or shred, making sure to remove any large chunks of fat or silver skin.
    – Strain remaining sauce into pan, and reduce for 20-30 minutes. Stir 3 Tbsp of cold unsalted butter into reduction.
    – Add scoop of potatoes and Broccolini to plate. Top potatoes with meat chunks and pour desired amount of sauce over top.
