Method

For the Braised Short Rib

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Season the beef short ribs generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

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

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  4. 4

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Stock and Herbs

    Add the beef stock, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Return the short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

  6. 6

    Braise

    Cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

  1. 7

    Prepare the Stock

    In a saucepan, heat the chicken stock over low heat and keep it warm.

  2. 8

    Sauté Shallots

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 9

    Cook the Rice

    Add Arborio rice to the skillet and toast it for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then, add 1 cup of warm chicken stock gradually, stirring until absorbed.

  4. 10

    Add More Stock

    Continue to add stock, one cup at a time, stirring frequently until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  5. 11

    Incorporate Cheeses

    Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the Point Reyes bleu cheese, remaining butter, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

For the Asparagus

  1. 12

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and rinse them under cold water.

  2. 13

    Roast the Asparagus

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.

  3. 14

    Bake

    Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
