A savory, hearty recipe for Wagyu Short Ribs.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 lbs bone-in Wagyu Beef Short Ribs
- Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper
- 1 1/2 (one & one half) Cup Celery (chopped – 2–3 stalks)
- 1 Cup Yellow Onion (chopped)
- 1 Cup Carrots (chopped – usually 2–3 carrots)
- 3 Cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/2 Bottle of Red Wine
- 2 Cups Beef Stock or Broth
- 1/2 Cup Canned Crushed Tomatoes
- 6 ounces Stout Beer
- 3 Sprigs Fresh Thyme, tied with kitchen string, plus more for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
-
Place Short Ribs on a sheet pan, brush the tops with olive oil, and sprinkle with ½ tablespoon salt and ¾ teaspoon pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven. Reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F.
-
Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large Dutch oven, over medium high heat. Add the celery, onions, and carrots and cook until tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for a few minutes. Add the stock, tomatoes, Stout beer, thyme, ½ tablespoon salt, and ¾ teaspoons pepper.
-
Place the Short Ribs in the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook in the oven for 1½ to 2 hours. Uncover and cook for one more hour, until the meat is very tender.
-
Remove the Short Ribs to a plate with a slotted spoon and discard the thyme bundle and bones. Simmer the sauce on the stove for 10 minutes. Skim the fat off the top and discard. Return the ribs to the pot, heat for 5 minutes, and taste for seasonings. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes and a garnish of fresh thyme sprinkled on top.
