Guacamole

Cerignola olives marinated in garlic rosemary olive oil

Olives

rigatoni, braised beef short rib, shaved parmigiano

Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Prepare the beef

In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Sear the beef

In the same pot, add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

Sauté the vegetables

Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze it. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.

Deglaze the pot

Return the short ribs to the pot, add the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Add the broth and herbs

Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it braise for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily.

Braise the beef

Once the beef is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat.

Shred the beef

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the rigatoni

In a large bowl, combine the cooked rigatoni with the shredded beef short rib and a few ladles of the braising liquid. Toss until well mixed.

Combine the pasta and beef

Plate the rigatoni and beef mixture, and top with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Serve hot.
