Sweet Potato Fries

BBQ Short Rib Ragout

Method

Sweet Potato Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to resemble fries.

  2. 2

    Season and Bake

    In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

Cheese Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Roux

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour until smooth and cook for about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Lower the heat and add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

BBQ Short Rib Ragout

  1. 5

    Sear the Short Ribs

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear them on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. 6

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 7

    Simmer the Ragout

    Return the short ribs to the pot, add BBQ sauce and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Shred the meat and mix it with the sauce.
