Braised Beef Short Ribs

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 pounds beef Short Ribs, 2-inch thick cut
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as Canola, for frying
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cups red wine
  • Herb Bouquet (tie together)
  • 2 sprigs parsley
  • 2 sprigs sage
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 1 sheet of parchment paper

Cooking:

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Season beef with salt and pepper; dredge in flour, shaking off excess.  Heat oil in a Dutch oven or other heavy bottomed pot, over medium-high heat. Place short ribs in Dutch oven; brown on all sides (in batches if necessary), about 5 minutes. When deep golden brown in color, remove to a plate; set aside.
  2. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic and bay leaves to the pot. Stir occasionally, until vegetables are lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Deglaze pan with red wine. Scrape bottom of pan lightly with a wooden spoon, releasing brown bits from the bottom of pan. Add beef stock and herb bouquet. Return short ribs to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  4. To make a cartouche (parchment paper lid), take parchment and fold opposite corners in half to make a triangle. Fold opposite corners again, three more times, making a narrow triangle. Measure it from the center to the edge of the pot, trimming edge with scissors. Cut about 1/2-inch from the point of the triangle. Unfold (resulting in a rough circle with a hole in the center) and place in the pot. Pressing with a spoon into surface of liquid. This keeps the surface moist, but also allows for some evaporation and concentration of flavors.
  5. Simmer covered about 2 hours. Remove herb bouquet and discard.
