Braised Beef Short Ribs

Cheese Grits

Demi Glaze

Method

Braised Beef Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Brown the Short Ribs

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper. Add the short ribs to the pot and brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Broth

    Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Add the bay leaves and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Braise the Ribs

    Return the short ribs to the pot, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Let them braise for about 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

  5. 5

    Add Mixed Peppers

    In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the chopped mixed bell peppers to the pot.

Cheese Grits

  1. 6

    Cook Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water and milk to a boil. Stir in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 20-25 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the cheddar cheese and butter until melted and creamy. Season with salt to taste.

Demi Glaze

  1. 8

    Prepare Glaze

    In a small saucepan, bring the beef broth to a simmer. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering broth until thickened.

  2. 9

    Season the Glaze

    Season the demi glaze with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm until serving.
