Recipe information

Make Braised Short Rib Risotto in just 3h . Roasted Mushroom, Sweet Onion, White Wine, Parmesan, White Truffle Oil

Preparation of Short Ribs

1. Sear the Short Ribs

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the beef short ribs generously with salt and black pepper. In a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the short ribs and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set them aside.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped sweet onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped mushrooms and continue to cook until they are browned and tender, about 5 more minutes.

3. Deglaze with Wine

Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Add Short Ribs and Broth

Return the seared short ribs to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

Preparation of Risotto

5. Cook the Risotto

Once the short ribs are tender, remove them from the pot and set aside. Strain the braising liquid and return it to the pot. Bring it back to a simmer. In a separate pan, add the Arborio rice and toast it for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Gradually add the simmering braising liquid, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

6. Finish the Risotto

Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle with white truffle oil and mix well.

Final Assembly

7. Serve

Shred the short ribs and mix them into the risotto or serve them on top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired. Enjoy your Braised Short Rib Risotto!
