Best Braised Short Ribs With Mushrooms Recipes

RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine all the marinade ingredients-the garlic through the red wine-in a large pan. Bring the wine to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes, and then let it cool a bit before combining with the ribs. (see notes)
• Place the ribs in a plastic storage bag. Carefully pour the marinade in with the ribs. Squeeze the air out, and seal the bags tightly. Place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 275 convection / 300 degrees conventional. When you're getting ready to braise the ribs, remove the short ribs from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Scrape off large bits of marinade ingredients that may be sticking to the ribs. Find 3 garlic cloves and a sprig of rosemary from the marinade, and mince for later.
• Place a large bowl in the sink, and place a finely meshed sieve over the bowl. Pour the marinade through the
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven safe dutch oven. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and parsnip to one dutch oven or skillet; add the other half of the veggies to your second cooking vessel, or hold aside to do in 2 batch. Cook the veggies until they soften, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the short ribs to the veggie mixture. Turn the meat over every few minutes to brown the meat on each site.
• Have the oven preheated to 275. Once the meat has browned in the dutch oven, add the broth, rosemary, minced garlic and 1.5 cups of reserved marinade. Bring to a boil, then cover and move from the stove top to the oven. Cook for at least 3 hours, until the meat is very tender. Check every hour or so to make sure you still have liquid in the dutch oven.
• Start this as you get within 30 minutes of finishing the beef slow cooking process. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet on medium. Add the shallot, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, cook until they sweat, about 5 minutes.
• After the ribs have braised for 3 hours, remove the Dutch oven from the oven and place on the stove top. Remove the cover from the beef. You should have some excess liquid. Scoop a ladleful of the broth from the beef into the mushroom skillet. Cook the broth down until it is mostly absorbed. Remove the short ribs from the dutch oven, and place on a platter. Cut the meat off the bones-it should slide off very easily and some meat will have come off the bone during the cooking. Cut the beef into smaller bite sized pieces, and removed large pieces of excess fat.
• Put the chopped beef back into the cooking vessel, and stir it into the broth. Stir the mushrooms in with the beef. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to blend the flavors and reduce the sauce a bit. The beef can be served at this point, or kept warm on low heat until you are ready to serve.
• Serve the beef and mushrooms over buttered noodles or mashed potatoes. Scoop the beef and mushrooms out with slotted spoon, then scoop the desired amount of additional sauce to serve over the beef. And of course, serve it with a glass of red wine!

SHORT RIBS BRAISED WITH MUSHROOMS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Combine mushrooms and water in a bowl; soak until mushrooms are rehydrated, about 30 minutes. Drain mushrooms and reserve liquid; dice mushrooms.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Season short ribs all over with salt and black pepper.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook short ribs in hot oil until browned on all sides, 7 to 12 minutes. Transfer ribs to a Dutch oven.
• Return skillet to heat and saute onion with a pinch of salt in hot pan until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir mushrooms into onion mixture.
• Pour reserved mushroom liquid into skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir beef broth, tomato sauce, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf into onion mixture.
• Pour tomato mixture over short ribs into Dutch oven and cover Dutch oven with a lid.
• Cook short ribs in the preheated oven until short ribs are fork-tender, about 2 hours.

GARLIC BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275 degrees. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer browned short ribs to a large plate and continue with remaining ribs.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of remaining fat, leaving the good browned bits behind. Reduce heat to medium, and add garlic, cut side down and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and continue to cook until vegetables are softened but not yet browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato paste has started to caramelize a bit on the bottom and up the edges of the pot, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add red wine and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned or caramelized bits. Let this simmer 2 to 3 minutes, just to take the edge off and reduce a bit. Stir in beef stock along with thyme. Using tongs, return short ribs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, nestling them in there so that they are submerged (if they are just barely covered, nestle them bone side up so that all the meat is submerged, adding more beef stock or water as necessary to cover). Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven.
• Cook, undisturbed, until short ribs are meltingly tender and falling off the bone (you should be able to shred the meat with a fork), 3½ to 4 hours.
• Using tongs, remove the ribs from the pot, taking care (for presentation purposes, really) not to let the bone slip out and transfer them to a large plate. (While you could serve the short ribs right out of this pot, the vegetables have all given up their flavor and texture and aren't worth much now, so feel free to strain the sauce for easier eating.) Scatter parsley, chives and lemon zest over the top of the short ribs. Separate the fat from the sauce, season with salt and pepper and serve alongside.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Bring the short ribs to room temperature. Meanwhile, pulse the shallots, 10 cloves garlic and the tomato paste in a food processor to make a paste. Cook the pancetta in a large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat until crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer the pancetta and all but 2 tablespoons drippings to a bowl.
• Add the shallot mixture to the pot and cook, stirring, until brown, about 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add 1/2 cup cognac, scraping up the browned bits. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, about 5 more minutes. Gradually stir in the wine until smooth. Add the porcini, thyme, bay leaves and 11/2 teaspoons salt.
• Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, place in the pot and add water to cover. Trim a piece of parchment paper so that it rests on the surface of the meat. Cover the pot with the lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the meat is fork-tender, about 3 hours.
• Remove the meat from the sauce and transfer to a plate. Set the sauce aside, about 10 minutes, then skim off the fat. (If the sauce is thick, add a splash of water.) Discard the bay leaves, season the sauce with salt and pepper and add the remaining 2 tablespoons cognac. Return the short ribs to the sauce and keep warm over low heat.
• Chop the remaining 1 clove garlic, then mash with 1/2 teaspoon salt using the flat side of a knife; add the parsley and chop. Heat the pancetta and the reserved drippings in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oyster and cremini mushrooms and cook until brown, about 10 minutes. Toss in the parsley mixture. Untie the short ribs, divide among plates and top with the sauce and mushrooms.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Season each short rib generously with salt. Coat a pot large enough to accommodate all the meat and vegetables with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Add the short ribs to the pan and brown very well, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook in batches, if necessary.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• While the short ribs are browning, puree all the vegetables and garlic in the food processor until it forms a coarse paste. When the short ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Drain the fat, coat the bottom of same pan with fresh oil and add the pureed vegetables. Season the vegetables generously with salt and brown until they are very dark and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Scrape the crud again and add the tomato paste. Brown the tomato paste for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat if things start to burn. Reduce the mixture by half.
• Return the short ribs to the pan and add 2 cups water or until the water has just about covered the meat. Add the thyme bundle and bay leaves. Cover the pan and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Check periodically during the cooking process and add more water, if needed. Turn the ribs over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When done the meat should be very tender but not falling apart. Serve with the braising liquid.

BEEF ESSENTIALS: BRAISED SHORT RIBS W/ MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the chicken stock to a pan, over medium heat.
• Chopped the reserved mushroom stems, and add them to the stock.
• Simmer, until the stock is reduced by half, about 20 - 25 minutes.
• Strain out the mushroom stems, and reserve the stock.
• Place a rack in the bottom position, and preheat the oven to 300f (150c).
• Chef's Tip: I tried this dish at a couple of different temperatures, and 300f (150c) was the magic number. Too low and the ribs fail to get tender; conversely, too high and you will burn the sauce. Trust me, you do not want to burn this sauce.
• Add the grapeseed oil, and sweet butter to a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
• When the foaming subsides, add the short ribs.
• Brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove the short ribs from the pot, and reserve.
• Chef's Tip: Depending on the fat content of the short ribs, you may have more oil in the pot than needed. My suggestion would be to remove all the oil, and add back 3 tablespoons to the pot.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the sliced mushrooms.
• Sauté until the mushrooms are softened, and release their moisture, about 8 - 10 minutes.
• Chef's Note: While the mushrooms are cooking, use a wooden spoon to scrape up those yummy fonds that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the reserved chicken stock to the pot, and use a wooden spoon to dissolve any additional fonds that might remain on the bottom of the pot.
• Add the cream cheese, garlic, and pepper, to the pot.
• Stir to combine.
• Return the short ribs to the pot.
• Cover and place into the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.
• Remove the ribs from the pot, and allow it to stand for 5 minutes, then use a ladle or spoon, to remove all the fat that has risen to the top.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Remove the meat from the bones (or leave the bones in for a rustic appearance), place on top of a big pile of mash taters, ladle some of the sauce on top, and garnish with a sprinkle of dried oregano. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
